Paulo de Carvalho

Paulo de Carvalho, singer, musician, and composer, is an unavoidable name in our music. His 60-year career "summarizes fundamental and decisive stages of Portuguese music, always associated with an extraordinary voice that makes him, today and always, the unsurpassable interpreter of our musical life."

As an interpreter, he gave voice to "some of our all-time best songs." As a composer, he signed some "true classics of our popular music: Lisboa, Menina e Moça, Os Putos, and O Homem das Castanhas, all with lyrics by José Carlos Ary dos Santos."

Alongside his musician self is the citizen of generous solidarity, "who went from stage to stage, from studio to studio, even on days of greater tension, to never let the immense clarity of his voice and the passion that insist on giving prodigious wings to words be forgotten.

The April 25th Revolution has in him a symbol. Paulo de Carvalho interpreted the song E Depois do Adeus, the second signal of the Carnation Revolution."
