Carlos Manuel de Ascenção do Carmo de Almeida {{Post-nominals|list=ComIH GOM}} (21 December 1939 – 1 January 2021), better known as Carlos do Carmo, was a Portuguese fado singer.

The son of Lucília do Carmo, a well-known fadista, do Carmo began his career in fado following his father's death in 1962, when he returned from a period in Switzerland to help his mother run the family's fado house. He began singing himself shortly afterwards and, in 1963, he began his career as a recording artist. He continued working at the fado house for a number of years, while also expanding his recording career. He achieved national and international success in the 1970s, including performances at the Royal Opera House in London and the Paris Olympia. He represented Portugal at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest with his song "Uma flor de verde pinho", finishing in 12th place.

Carmo introduced new styles to fado, including the addition of orchestras, and the incorporation of other styles such as jazz into the traditional music.

Early life

Carlos do Carmo grew up in Lisbon. His mother was Lucília do Carmo, a fado singer who experienced success in the 1920s.{{cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/599817796/at-78-carlos-do-carmo-the-sinatra-of-fado-makes-his-new-york-debut|title=At 78, Carlos Do Carmo, The 'Sinatra Of Fado,' Makes His New York Debut|publisher=NPR|date=9 April 2019|access-date=19 April 2019|last=Arcos|first=Betto|archive-date=3 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164130/https://www.npr.org/2018/04/09/599817796/at-78-carlos-do-carmo-the-sinatra-of-fado-makes-his-new-york-debut|url-status=live}} He first left Lisbon in his youth, on the advice of his parents, to study languages and hotel management in Switzerland.{{cite news |work=Time24 |url=https://www.time24.news/2021/01/carlos-do-carmo-a-fado-ambassador-died-at-81.html |title=Carlos do Carmo, a fado ambassador, died at 81 |date=1 January 2021 |access-date=1 January 2021 |archive-date=3 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164137/https://www.time24.news/2021/01/carlos-do-carmo-a-fado-ambassador-died-at-81.html |url-status=live }} But, with the death of his father Alfredo de Almeida in 1962, do Carmo soon joined his mother to help her run their fado house, the Faia.{{Cite web|last=Martins|first=Iúri|date=1 January 2021|title=Carlos do Carmo, um filho do fado que dele fez vida|url=https://www.cmjornal.pt/cultura/detalhe/carlos-do-carmo-um-filho-do-fado-que-dele-fez-vida|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164132/https://www.cmjornal.pt/cultura/detalhe/carlos-do-carmo-um-filho-do-fado-que-dele-fez-vida|archive-date=3 January 2021|access-date=3 January 2021|website=Correio da Manhã|language=pt-PT}} Encouraged by his friends' response to his singing, do Carmo soon began to perform at the fado house.{{cite web |website=MuseuDoFado.pt |title=Carlos do Carmo |url=https://www.museudofado.pt/en/fado/persolanity/carlos-do-carmo-en |access-date=1 January 2021 |archive-date=3 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164133/https://www.museudofado.pt/en/fado/persolanity/carlos-do-carmo-en |url-status=live }}

Career

Do Carmo's career thrived in the 1970s, when he released several of his most well-known songs and collaborated with a number of opponents to the Estado Novo regime, such as Fernando Tordo, Paulo de Carvalho and the poet Ary dos Santos.{{cite news|url=https://www.publico.pt/2013/08/14/culturaipsilon/critica/fados-vividos-1658426|title=Fados vividos|language=pt|date=14 August 2013|access-date=19 April 2019|last=Mourinha|first=Jorge|newspaper=Público|archive-date=19 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419220033/https://www.publico.pt/2013/08/14/culturaipsilon/critica/fados-vividos-1658426|url-status=live}} Following the Carnation Revolution, fado saw its place as the Portuguese national music threatened by the emergence of canção de intervenção, a term encompassing Portuguese protest songs. Fado also started to lose exposure on the radio and on television; according to musicologist {{ill|Rui Vieira Nery|pt}}, do Carmo was an exception to this trend, because of his connection to "sectors of the democratic opposition".{{cite web|url=https://blitz.pt/principal/update/25-abril-e-o-fado-sobreviveu-a-revolucao=f91812|title=25 Abril: E o fado sobreviveu à revolução|language=pt|date=21 April 2014|access-date=19 April 2019|work=Blitz|archive-date=3 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164141/https://blitz.pt/principal/update/25-abril-e-o-fado-sobreviveu-a-revolucao=f91812|url-status=live}}

In 1976, in the first Festival da Canção after the revolution, the organizers of the contest tried to emulate A Song for Europe's method of national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. The procedure employed by their British counterparts consisted of choosing a single artist who would perform all the songs in the contest.{{cite web|url=https://observador.pt/especiais/um-homem-oito-musicas-e-dois-partidos-1976-e-as-historias-do-mais-insolito-festival-da-cancao/|title=Um homem, oito músicas e dois partidos: 1976 e as histórias do mais insólito Festival da Canção|language=pt|publisher=Observador|date=3 March 2018|last=Lopes|first=Diogo|access-date=19 April 2019|archive-date=3 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164154/https://observador.pt/especiais/um-homem-oito-musicas-e-dois-partidos-1976-e-as-historias-do-mais-insolito-festival-da-cancao/|url-status=live}} Do Carmo was chosen as the only singer of that year's Festival da Canção and the winner of the contest was the song "Uma flor de verde pinho". Later that year, he represented his country at the Eurovision Song Contest with the same song,{{sfn|Elliott|2010}} finishing in 12th place.

In 1977, do Carmo released Um Homem na Cidade ({{translation|A Man in the City}}), a concept album featuring an array of poems about Lisbon by Ary dos Santos.{{sfn|Elliott|2010}} The album became one of the greatest successes of do Carmo's long career,{{cite web|url=https://blitz.pt/principal/update/carlos-do-carmo-e-o-primeiro-portugues-a-conquistar-um-grammy=f92763|title=Carlos do Carmo é o primeiro português a conquistar um Grammy|work=Blitz|language=pt|date=1 July 2014|access-date=19 April 2019|archive-date=3 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164133/https://blitz.pt/principal/update/carlos-do-carmo-e-o-primeiro-portugues-a-conquistar-um-grammy=f92763|url-status=live}} and was described by Nery as being "one of the most significant albums in the whole fado discography".{{sfn|Elliott|2010}} Um Homem na Cidade evinced a new, innovative style of fado.{{sfn|Côrte-Real|1996|p=164}} Its lyrics, while not necessarily supportive of the revolution, referenced current affairs of the time.{{sfn|Côrte-Real|1996|p=166}}

While fado remained at the core of his music, do Carmo was influenced, among other styles and musicians, by Frank Sinatra; French pop, including the work of Jacques Brel; and Brazilian bossa nova, including the work of Elis Regina.{{cite news |work=Reuters |title=Carlos do Carmo, the 'Sinatra' of Portugal's fado, dies aged 81 |first=Catarina |last=Demony |access-date=1 January 2021 |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-portugal-fado-carmo/carlos-do-carmo-the-sinatra-of-portugals-fado-dies-aged-81-idUSKBN2962CB |archive-date=3 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164133/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-portugal-fado-carmo/carlos-do-carmo-the-sinatra-of-portugals-fado-dies-aged-81-idUSKBN2962CB |url-status=live }}{{Cite web|last=Barros|first=João|date=1 January 2021|title=Morreu o fadista Carlos do Carmo aos 81 anos|url=https://jornaleconomico.sapo.pt/noticias/morreu-o-fadista-carlos-do-carmo-aos-81-anos-682662|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210103164135/https://jornaleconomico.sapo.pt/noticias/morreu-o-fadista-carlos-do-carmo-aos-81-anos-682662|archive-date=3 January 2021|access-date=3 January 2021|website=Jornal Económico|language=pt-PT}} (He performed with Regina on a trip to Brazil in 1973.) His uniqueness, apart from the special timbre of his voice, is in his ability to bring composers from other styles such as jazz, as well as adding the orchestra to fado music. This is seen in his albums such as Um Homem na Cidade.

In 1984, he recorded Um Homem no País, which was the first CD ever recorded in Portugal.{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202144508/http://www.museudofado.pt/personalidades/detalhes.php?id=281 |url=http://www.museudofado.pt/personalidades/detalhes.php?id=281 |website=MuseuDoFado.pt |title=PERSONALIDADES: Carlos do Carmo |language=pt |access-date=1 January 2021 |archive-date=2 February 2016 |url-status=live }} He worked closely with other fado singers such as Mariza and Camané, and nurtured their development.{{cite web |url=http://www.wrasserecords.com/Carlos_Do_Carmo_136/biography.html |publisher=Wrasse Records Ltd |title=Carlos do Carmo Biography |access-date=23 March 2017 |archive-date=24 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190224155841/http://wrasserecords.com/Carlos_Do_Carmo_136/biography.html |url-status=live }} His career included performances at the Royal Albert Hall, The Town Hall in New York City, Paris Olympia, Frankfurt's Alte Oper, and the Canecão in Rio de Janeiro.

Legacy

File:Carlos do Carmo 2007.jpg

Carlos do Carmo is considered to be the most important male fadista of his generation, that came after Alfredo Marceneiro and before Camané. He is often regarded as the artist that made the transition between traditional fado and the new fado that started emerging in the 1990s.
