Because of a desire to maintain a purely artistic career for such a long time, his artistic references include quite diverse artists as Frank Sinatra, Jaques Brel, Elis Regina and Josй Afonso. 'Canoas do Tejo', 'Os Putos', 'Lisboa Menina e Mo-a' e 'Estrela da Tarde', are some of the biggest hits of his career. 'Por morrer uma andorinha', 'Duas l‘grimas de orvalho', 'Bairro Alto', 'Gaivota', All of his albums up to the present day have been cherished and the sales of his television performances are now part of fado history, recognized for their high quality, and for the inovative spirit that each one transmits. From that moment on, success was part of his life, each and every fado that he sang, every album he recorded, every performance he gave, corresponded with yet another hit. His way of singing was different, his personal style unmistakable, he was the one that fado was waiting for to carry on the tradition, and there was a certainty that a new star had been born. The opportunity to record his first album came quickly, and in 1964 he recorded ' Estranha Forma de Vida'. The success of this experience was so great that the destiny of Carlos Do Carmo could not possibly be delayed a minute more. But music was ever present in him, and he recorded one of his mother's songs, 'Loucura', at the request of Mбrio Simхes almost on a lark. After the death of his father, Carlos Do Carmo became the owner, and thanks to his merits and good luck, made 'Casa de Fado' the best in Lisbon. When he returned to Lisbon from Switzerland he entered the hotel business with his parents, and took the reigns of 'Casa de Fado' which they had founded, using all of the ideas and techniques that he learned in Switzerland. In 1964, Carlos Do Carmo began one of the most solid careers in the artistic panorama of Portugal. He studied the hotel business in Switzerland. His parents' house in the old part of the city, Bairro Alto, was a place where intelectuals and artists gathered, some of the more prominent figures of Lisbon society at that time. One might say that Carlos Do Carmo was raised in an artistic atmosphere. His parents were also the owners of the famous Lisbon restaurant 'O Faia'. He was the son of Lucнlia do Carmo (one of the greatest fadistas of the 20th century) and Alfredo de Almeida, (bookseller and later entrepreneur in the hotel business). Carlos Do Carmo was born in Lisbon Portugal in 1939.
