Release Notes:
The first contact CamanΘ made with fado happened by accident. During the
recovery from a childhood illness he dived into his parents record collection
and came across the big names of fado: Amßlia Rodrigues, Fernando Maurφcio,
Lucφlφa do Carmo, Maria Teresa de Noronha, Alfredo Marceneiro and Carlos do
Carmo...
It took just a step from that time till the victory of the event "Grande Noite
do Fado" (Big Night of Fado) in 1979. Following this participation, he has
recorded some singles and made several public appearances.
After an interval of around 5 years, CamanΘ came back to the world of fado,
singing in several fado houses, and at the same time he made part of the cast of
several productions of Filipe La FΘria - "Grande Noite", "Maldita Cocaφna",
"Cabaret" - where he has distinguished himself.
During his performance at the fado nights in the Teatro da Comuna he met JosΘ
Mßrio Branco, starting a relationship based on work and friendship that led to
the release of "Uma Noite de Fados" (A Night of Fados), recorded live during
four nights in a row at the Palßcio das Alcßτovas, recreating the environment of
a true fado house.
The release of "Uma Noite de Fados", praised by the specialized press, elects
CamanΘ the most representative voice of a new generation of fado, leading to the
public's recognition of the quality of his work.
From that time on, he has made several appearances in Portugal, the most
noteworthy being his participation in the ceremony to pay homage to Amßlia
Rodrigues, promoted by RTP (public television) and abroad, in France,
Netherlands, Italy and Spain. In 1997, besides the recordings of his new work,
CamanΘ has made a series of performances in collaboration with INATEL in Lisboa,
Porto, ldanha-a-Nova, SantarΘm and Beja and he has participated in the show "As
Viagens do Fado" (The Fado Travels) directed by Carlos Martins, which had the
participation among others of Filipa Pais, Maria Alice, Ricardo Rocha and Carlos
Barreto.
The beginning of 1998 was marked by the release of "Na Linha da Vida" produced
by JosΘ Mßrio Branco and with the participation of Cust≤dio Castelo (portuguese
guitar), Jorge Fernando (guitar) and Carlos Bica (double-bass). "Na Linha da
Vida" deserved special attention of the media, confirming the expectation
brought by "Uma Noite de Fados", and definitively placing CamanΘ as one of the
most impressive voices of fado.
During the year of 1998, besides the concerts in Portugal, CamanΘ has also
performed at some of the most prestigious music festivals in Europe - "TombΘes
de la Nuit (Rennes); Les MediterranΘes α l'EuropΘen" (Paris)à. He has also
collaborated with the Portuguese group Ala dos Namorados. In October, by the
time of "Na Linha da Vida" releasing in Holland and Belgium, he toured in those
countries.
At the end of the year, after the Spanish tour, CamanΘ participated as a special
guest on the concert of JosΘ Mßrio Branco at Teatro Cam⌡es and also on the
Carlos do Carmo commemorative concert at Centro Cultural de BelΘm. Meanwhile,
the press included "Na Linha da Vida" on the list of the best records of the
year (Expresso/Voxpopà).
The year of 1999 was devoted to several live performances - Portugal, Spain,
Macao and France - as well as the pre-production and recording of a new album of
original songs. By the end of the year "Na Linha da Vida" was released by EMI in
Korea marking the first approach to the oriental market.
In the beginning of 2000 there was a new step in store for CamanΘ's career: the
release of his third record - "Esta Coisa da Alma" - simultaneously in Belgium,
Holland and Portugal. Once again produced by JosΘ Mßrio Branco, "Esta Coisa da
Alma" has the participation of a distinguished threesome: JosΘ Manuel Neto,
Portuguese guitar; Carlos Manuel Proenτa, guitar; and Carlos Bica, double bass.
The release of this CD in Holland and Belgium was accompanied by a tour through
some of the most important venues of these countries, namely the two sold out
concerts at the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam and the participation on the Brugges
Festival. "Esta Coisa da Alma" was also presented in Spain, Switzerland,
Germany, France and of course Portugal, where one of the highest points was the
concert done in October at Centro Cultural de BelΘm.
Representing the deserved recognition from the public, for his work "Esta Coisa
da Alma", CamanΘ received the Silver Record for the 10 thousand sales,
accomplished right at the end of the year.
During February and March 2001, he performed several shows in Portugal and
France (Festival Chorus) and April became an awarding month full of
distinctions. There was a huge expectation the night of April 8th , when CamanΘ
received the "Globo de Ouro" (Gold Globe), from SIC (Portuguese TV Network), in
the category of best solo interpreter. Two weeks later, the "Casa da Imprensa"
(House of Press) rewards him, as well, with the "PrΘmio Bordalo" (Bordalo's
Award) to the best solo interpreter in Portuguese popular music. At the end of
October, he received the "Best Male Singer" award by the musical newspaper
Blitz.
CamanΘ released a year ago his fourth studio album "Pelo Dia Dentro" again
produced by JosΘ Mßrio Branco and featuring his usual accompanists: JosΘ Manuel
Neto on Portuguese guitar, Carlos Manuel Proenτa on acoustic guitar and Carlos
Bica on double bass. The album achieved Silver sales after only three weeks.
The album's tour started off with three sold-out shows in two of the most
prestigious Portuguese concert halls: Oporto's
