Meet Carmihno, the Mesmerizing Singer From the Oscar-Nominated ‘Poor Things’

Meet Portugal's Carmihno, the Mesmerizing Singer that Captivates Emma Stone's Character in the Oscar-Nominated Movie 'Poor Things'

Before Poor Things, she participated in the Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura’s Fados(2007), and then in the Portuguese director João Botelho’s Filme do Desassossego(2010), in one case as a singer, in the other as herself. Armed with a Portuguese guitar — an iconic 12-string instrument Carminho learned to play specifically for the role — her powerful vocals were recorded live in only one shot, enough to fill the room with commanding force. Now she is set to come back in April to the U.S. as a guest on Caetano Veloso’s The U.S. Farewell Tour, where she’ll join the Brazilian legend to sing their collaboration “Você-Você,” included in his 2021 album Meu Coco.
