Jaime Santos is a versatile musician whose work spans across a rich tapestry of musical genres, with a strong foundation in the traditions of Portuguese music. His discography showcases an adept skill in both the realms of Fado, Portugal's soul-stirring traditional music, and Forró, a lively genre from Brazil, demonstrating his ability to navigate complex musical landscapes. Through releases such as "Guitarra Portuguesa" and "Fado Club - I Remember Portugal (Ao Vivo)," Jaime Santos pays homage to the deep emotional and cultural currents of Portuguese music, employing the mournful tones of the Portuguese guitar to evoke nostalgia and longing. On the other hand, tracks like "Moralizando o forró" and "Coça e Pimba" reveal his playful side, engaging with the rhythmic and joyful essence of Forró, a testament to his versatility and deep understanding of musical forms.

Jaime Santos is not just a musician but a storyteller, weaving tales of love, longing, and joy through his diverse musical selections. From the intimate and soulful renditions in "Lisboa Cidade de Fado Vol. 6" to the vibrant energies of "Canto pra Ser Feliz," his music is a journey through the emotions and stories that define human experience. His recent works, such as "São Rosas" and "Guitarradas," continue to explore the intricate melodies and harmonies that have become his signature, cementing his place in the world of music as an artist committed to the exploration and celebration of cultural heritage and musical diversity.
