Luckman Sessions: Carminho

Portuguese fadista Carminho is the featured artist in the latest episode of our original series, Luckman Sessions.

At the forefront of Portugal’s contemporary fado tradition, Carminho combines a reverence for the art form with a modern vision all her own. Her powerful yet delicate vocals, coupled with her deep emotional connection to the music, have earned her numerous awards and critical acclaim, solidifying her status as one of Europe’s most exceptional musical talents.

This Luckman Sessions episode was filmed at The Luckman prior to her performance on our stage earlier this season. The series brings you exclusive performances and artist interviews — filmed at The Luckman and on-location around the country and around the world, including in Oaxaca, Miami, Madrid, and more.
