António Zambujo, Portugal’s new male fado sensation, has been a major voice in the resurrection of male fadistas in a recently female-dominated realm. Dedicated to expanding the horizons of traditional fado, he has merged it with cante alentejano -- a traditional male chant from southern Portugal influenced by North African traditions, and popular Brazilian music.
“In only four albums, he has established himself as the most beautiful male voice of fado today.”LE FIGARO
António first garnered national fame with his role of Francisco da Cruz, Amália Rodrigues’s first husband, in the blockbuster musical Amália in Lisbon and on tour; he later won the Amália Rodrigues Foundation prize for the Best Fado Male Singer.
