Paulo de Carvalho is a revered figure in Portuguese music, known for his significant contributions to the country's cultural landscape as a singer, songwriter, and a symbol of Portuguese soul. Born in Lisbon on May 15, 1947, he has been a persistent force in the music industry since the 1960s. With his rich voice and expressive interpretations, he has traversed various styles including fado, pop, and Portuguese folk music, all the while maintaining the essence of his native land in his work.

Paulo de Carvalho gained prominence as a member of the band "Os Sheiks" in the mid-60s, often heralded as the Portuguese equivalent of The Beatles. However, it's his solo career that truly showcases his versatility and influence. His song "E depois do adeus" became historically significant as one of the signals used to initiate the Carnation Revolution in Portugal on April 25, 1974. Throughout his extensive career, he has continued to mesmerize audiences with his albums and live performances. His later works like "Lisboa, Menina e Moça - Ao Vivo No Coliseu" and "Duetos" exhibit his continued relevance and ability to connect with both longstanding fans and newer generations, while albums like "Mátria" reflect on his deep ties to Portuguese identity and tradition. Paulo de Carvalho's enduring legacy is one of heartfelt musicality and an unwavering dedication to his cultural roots.
