“Carlos Manuel Moutinho Paiva dos Santos aka Camane began his career early on in 1967. He was seven when he had his first exposure to the melancholy music on his parent’s old records. Just five years later he won his first amateur singing competition. At seventeen, he became the professional fado singer that he had always dreamed of being. To follow were gigs in the clubs of Lisbon – he was born just outside the Portuguese capital – to guest appearances on various musical productions. Today Camané is one of the most successful figures of a genre which presents the best insight into Portuguese culture.”
