A leading voice in the resurrection of male fado singers in a female-dominated genre. This rising star merges traditional fado with cante alentejano and Brazilian popular music.” – Carnegie Hall blog
Zambujo’s imaginative take on fado music is infused with cante alentejano as well as manifold other influences, including jazz and Brazilian grooves. Zambujo’s latest CD is an homage to Brazilian legend Chico Buarque. A New York Times concert review calls Zambujo’s style “fado, updated but still intimate” and lauds his ability to uphold “fado’s sense of longing and tragic dignity as he brings it into modern close-up.”
