Maria do Carmo Carvalho Rebelo de Andrade (born 20 August 1984), better known as Carminho (), is a Portuguese fado and popular music singer.
She comes from a family of musicians, since her mother, Teresa Siqueira, was a famous fado singer. She is considered one of the most talented and innovative fado singers of her generation.[by whom?] She can be considered as a crossover artist, since her eclectic work shows the heritage of both traditional and contemporary fado, as she also delves into other genres such as Brazilian popular music, bossa nova and pop.
