A singer who lowers his voice to be heard. In Lisbon's fado houses, they said he sang like a Brazilian, and it was Caetano Veloso who wrote about one of his albums that came into his hands almost by chance. In between, there were the Alentejo folk songs his grandmother taught him, twenty-eight sold-out nights at the Coliseums, and a new album, Oração ao Tempo (Prayer to Time). A conversation about the spoken word in its entirety, the silence that compels listening, and the discomfort of responding without singing.
Highlights of this conversation:
• Why singing a tone lower forces the listener to be quiet
• "Poetry is for eating": the school of fado and the word spoken to the last syllable
• The candy and the candy box, or how repeating an effect wears it out
• The difference between serving music and serving oneself from it
• Grandmother, the songs heard on the street and the Aldeia Nova de São Bento folk group at Culturgest
• Labels, herd mentality and the mania of waiting for foreign validation
• From stage fright in the musical Amália to the art of stepping onto it
• Twenty-eight sold-out coliseums before the first show
• Singing face to face with Caetano Veloso
• Fifty years and age prejudice
"Those who are listening have to be quiet and have to try to understand what we are saying."
