“Semear Salsa à Regueinho” marks the beginning of the career of the musician Vitorino. One Work that honors Alentejo tradition and the post-dictatorship moments.
50 years later, Vitorino makes the stage home and does not forget chords that the debut album carries. “Sowing Salsa to the Wrold “comes a year after participating in the memorable show of the Coliseu dos Recreios, alongside Zeca Afonso or Fausto.
“It is a very radical disc in written language, but very post-romantic in melody and intention,” he tells SIC.
In a post-revolution period, the disc appears as a reflection of the childhood of the musician, influenced by the Alentejo tradition, but also of the disguised youth in disguised against a dictatorship.
“Fall of the Empire” is one of the successes that marked the half -century career of the 83 -year -old artist. A path that divided with artists of different ages and origins, but always assuming itself as a fierce advocate of Portuguese music.
“I still make music with a social sense. I’m attentive, it was my school, I don’t know how to do another. I will paraphrase Sérgio Godinho: ‘Can someone be who is not?'”, Says the artist.
And it is with the reissue of the debut album that Vitorino is again who is on the stage of Culturgest in Lisbon on September 25th.
