[1] Next, she retired for five years from Lisbon's cultural circles, acting in Brazil and Mozambique, where she exhibited, among other spaces, at Casino da Costa, in Lourenço Marques.

From her time at that casino, she would report the newspaper Canção do Sul, of 16 August 1943, of the "(...) formidable success achieved by the popular singer Lucília do Carmo".

[1] In 1947, two years after the end of the Second World War, Carmo and Almeida opened a fado house, called Adega da Lucília, which later changed its name to O Faia.

The house, where Carmo was the main artistic performance, was located in Bairro Alto, right in Rua da Barroca.

Knowing several casts over the years, singers from different generations sang there, such as Alfredo Marceneiro, Tristão da Silva, Carlos Ramos or Camané.
