Portuguese fado singer Carminho performed before Pope Francis and attendees of the World Youth Day Prayer Vigil at Campo da Graça in Lisbon’s Parque Tejo on Saturday night. She sang “Estrela,” from her 2019 Nonesuch debut album, Maria. You can watch the performance here:

Carminho's new album, Portuguesa, the sixth album of her career, is due out in the United States on vinyl and CD next Friday, August 18. The album features fourteen compositions—several of her own songs as well as those of other writers, including traditional fado songs—through which she explores various combinations within the canons, reimagining the form. You can pre-order the album here.

Carminho will tour the United States and Canada this October, with shows in Boston, South Orange, Chicago, Stanford, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. For details and tickets, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.
