The group TRIO FADO was founded in Berlin at the beginning of 2000. We have dedicated our souls to Fado, this passionate and yearning music that was born in the alleys of old Lisbon.
We travel all over Germany with our fado.
We have also been enthusiastically received in other European countries such as Austria, Switzerland, France, Greece etc. over the years. There have been countless great moments of joy on these trips. For example, being the first fado group to play in Armenia, including television and radio appearances. Also the warm and grateful experiences during our 5-day guest performance there. The audiences in several philharmonic halls in Russia and in the chamber music hall of the Berlin Philharmonic have also shown us that our music is something special.
Our fado is a mixture of famous, beloved songs and our own compositions and lyrics.
TRIO FADO represented Portugal for several years as a member of the project "Heimatlieder aus Deutschland". A music project that united the traditional music of the guest worker countries in one program. This program was performed in the most prestigious concert halls in Germany.
The voice of MARIA CARVALHO, singer of the group (lyrics and arrangement by TRIO FADO) can also be heard in the movie "Night Train to Lisbon".
Her singing can also be heard in several episodes of the ARD series "Lissabon Krimi". In addition to compositions by Peter Gromer, the lyrics are by Maria Carvalho.
One of the songs, "Preso no Tempo", was nominated for the Film Music Award for Best Song in a Movie in 2019.
