As A Prototype Of A Modern European Telmo Pires Who Was Born In Portugal Commutes Between His Home And The Urban Metropolises Of Paris And Berlin. The Influences Of These Different Cultures And Life Styles Form The Basis Of His Artistic Creation. Love For His Own Cultural Roots And Openness And Sensibility For Musical Encounters Gave Birth To His Exceptional Fado Style. The Berlin Magazine Zitty Wrote “Pires’ Own Individual Interpretation Of Portuguese Soul Music Progressively Grows Bowing Down Respectfully In Front Of Tradition Yet Without Shutting Out The Influences From His Life In Berlin.” Telmo Pires Spent Three Decades In His Adopted Home Berlin Before He Decided In 2010 To Continue His Musical Career In Lisbon Returning To His Hometown And The Birthplace Of Fado. It Was Obviously The Right Place At The Right Time. Even Though He Had Never Worked In Portugal He Immediately Succeeded In Making Numerous Contacts And Impressing Musicians And Colleagues With His Personality And Talent. One Of These Musicians Davide Zaccaria Later Went On To Become The Producer Of His New Album Fado Promessa. Zaccaria Is One Of The Country’s Most Renowned Musicians. As A Composer Cellist Arranger And Musical Director He Has Worked For Important Musicians And Performers Whose Fame Today Has Spread Far Beyond The Borders Of Portugal. Fado Stars Such As Mariza Dulce Pontes Ana Moura Are Among Them As Well As The Grand Seigneur Of Fado Carlos Do Carmo Only To Name A Few. He Was Enthused Not Only By Telmo Pires’ Voice And Talent But Also By His Impartial Open Style And His Courage To Treat Fado In A Very Individual Way. This Is Partly Because Pires Is Not “only” A Performer He Is Also A Composer And Lyricist Making Him One Of The Great Exceptions Among Fado Singers. Www.Telmopires.Com read less
