It was in the former Portuguese overseas province of Angola that he formed his first band, Os Rebeldes. There, to the musicality of his Beira origin, he assimilated African rhythms.

Author of 12 recordings, recorded between 1970 and 2011 (ten originals, one re-recorded compilation and one live record), he is currently an important name in Portuguese music and in popular music in particular.
