Carminho sang in the traditional, Portuguese style of fado with no microphones or amplification while accompanying herself on the Portuguese guitar, moving the actress to tears and receiving an enthusiastic applause from the audience, which included Taylor Swift.   

The full version of “O quarto,” which translates to “The Room” in English, is now available on all digital platforms. It is accompanied by a beautiful music video in Black and white, available on YouTube, with Carminho singing and playing the guitar while haunted by the ghost of herself.
