"I might not know who you are, but I know who I am."

And things could be no different, when someone who sings these words is someone who has always perceived Fado to be her destiny, but who was only able to openly admit it after she truly understood who she was.

In 2009, Carminho sang "Fado". This was her fado, the one she owned since an early age, when she listened to her parents' records, when she witnessed the gathering of fado singers in her own house and when, still a teenager, she began to sing in the Taverna do Embu?§ado. This "Fado" was the title of her first album, which was one of the most awaited albums in the new generation of fado singers: for those who had already heard Carminho, her talent was obvious, but they had to wait - until she finished her graduation, until she travelled the world, until she knew who she really was.

And her "Fado" became one of the most acclaimed albums in 2009. It went Platinum - an enviable outcome for a debut album. With "Fado", Portugal surrendered to Carminho's voice and the doors of the world opened to her talent. It was considered best album 2011 by Songlines magazine, she had shows in European capital cities, in Womex 2011 (Copenhagen) and in the UNESCO headquarters, in Paris, within the scope of Fado as World Heritage candidate. Then came the invitation to parti[beeep]te in Pablo Albor??n's album, which became a phenomenon of popularity in both Portugal and Spain.

It was about time that "Fado" had a worthy successor. And it's just around the corner. On 5th March, Carminho reveals her "Alma" (Portuguese word for soul) with 15 new songs, an album again produced and directed by Diogo Clemente, again wisely combining cover versions and originals (in the special edition, the album has 17 songs and a DVD with Carminho live in concertin May 2011 at Lux Fr??gil, Lisbon.

The cover versions are less evident. Some not so well known songs by Am??lia ("Cabe?§a de Vento"), Dina do Carmo ("?? Beira do Cais") or Fernanda Maria ("As Pedras da Minha Rua"), but also from Chico Buarque ("Meu Namorado", de "O Grande Circo M?stico") or Vinicius de Moraes ("Saudades do Brasil em Portugal"). The original songs are by Diogo Clemente ("Bom Dia, Amor", about poet Fernando Pessoa), M??rio Pacheco ("Talvez", lyrics by Vasco Gra?§a Moura), and Vitorino ("Fado Adeus"). And there are also some new lyrics for traditional fado tunes - one of them, "Folha", written by Carminho herself, and another one, "Impress??o Digital", a poem by Ant??nio Gede??o.

And it is this mixture of past and present that allows us to unveil the future of Fado, in the unrivalled voice of Carminho. A voice which, in her second album, sustains all that Carminho sings in "Talvez": "I might not know who you are, but I know who I am".
