Malhão, the latest album by Carlos Carvalho, is a lively and energetic collection of Portuguese folk music. The album features a mix of traditional songs and original compositions, all performed with Carvalho's signature flair and passion.
From the opening track, "Vira do Minho," to the closing number, "Chula de Viana," Malhão is a celebration of Portugal's rich musical heritage. Carvalho's virtuosic accordion playing is at the heart of every song, driving the rhythms forward and infusing each track with a sense of joy and vitality.
One of the highlights of the album is "Fado do Malhão," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Carvalho's emotive vocals and lyrical songwriting. Other standout tracks include the upbeat "Dança do Vira" and the soulful "Fado da Saudade."
