Telmo Pires

TELMO PIRES PRESENTS HIS NEW ALBUM "SINAL". RELEASE ON APRIL, 3rd 2009
Telmo Pires belongs to a new generation of interpreters who bring the Fado up to date and in a new instrumentation. Taking the broad spectrum of contemporary popular music into account, Fado becomes an authentic expression of their current awareness of life. Rooted in the wistful melancholy of the Fado Pires presents a very personal selection, mainly of his own songs, on his current CD “Passos”.
His songs surround the soul with longing, love and grief as if he feels that we have to produce stocks of them for the rest of our lives. Telmo Pires sings with passion and sensibility and breaks clichés. Authentically and elaborately he shows us the Fado with devotion and excitement and his melancholy – “Saudade” – as an enjoyment to be sad and thus as a transcended way of being happy.
„ Pires is gifted with a voice that embraces your shoulders, like a warm summer breeze at the Algarve.”
Kölner Stadtanzeiger
„ Voice of the Fado: The Portugal-born musician embodies - also thanks to his excellent language skills - the ideal of the modern European.”
Report (Journal of the German-Portugese Society)
„ There are voices which almost take shape, filling a room with physical presence. The voice of Telmo Pires is one of them. The Portugese has a magical grip on his audience.”
Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
„Telmo Pires is a magician of his genre and a charismatic appearance on stage. (...) He might still be an insider tip, but - adieu tristesse - certainly not for much longer.”
Die Welt
„ The Fado interpreted in a modern way. (...) This version of Fado, developed together with his musicians, appears slendered, modern and not the least greasy. Again and again the instrumentalists give a song a jazzy twist, while Pires sings in a full, warm timbre, spiced with ethno-cantilenes, about unfullfilled love (...) The audience got encores after long standing ovations.”
Neue Westfälische
„Pires has his own way of interpreting the Fado, by which he easily reaches the German-speaking audience as well. (...) ‘Só, só, só mais uma’ the Portugese audience calls and ‘encore’ the others, and all mean the same. With standing ovations they finally achieve their aim.”
Nordsee Zeitung
