Fernando Tordo is a renowned Portuguese singer and songwriter whose influence in the Portuguese music scene has spanned several decades. Born on March 29, 1948, in Lisbon, Tordo has made a significant contribution to the evolution of Portuguese popular music, especially with his work in the genre of "música de intervenção," which was tied to the socio-political movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Prolific in his output, Tordo has released numerous albums that have been critical in shaping the modern sound of Portuguese music.

His career took off in the late 1960s and throughout his journey, he has been known for his distinctive voice and mastery in blending traditional Portuguese music, such as Fado, with contemporary styles. His recent works, including "Parasitas," "Os Fados Que Eu Fiz," and "Duetos - Diz-me Com Quem Cantas," showcase his continual innovation within the genre and his ability to attract and collaborate with other artists. Tordo's legacy not only includes his music but also his commitment as a cultural ambassador for Portugal, as evidenced by his album "Fernando Tordo Canta a los Premios Nobel," which pays tribute to Nobel Prize laureates. His artistry continues to evolve, and his works, such as "Anticiclone" and "Peninsular," reflect his ongoing passion and contribution to Portuguese music and culture.
