I just couldn't help myself crying when began. I've studied Portuguese for 4 years and I love this language and Portugal and Brazil as well. Last year I almost cried when I saw the postcard of Portugal. I think Salvador really deserved a winner and that song is a real masterpiece. From China with love.

This was the biggest moment yesterday, not the songs of Eurovision. I didnt know Caetano Veloso, but since yesterday i discovered one of the best singers i have ever heard...........Greetings from Greece!!!!

[@renanmiranda68]

Μαριος Παπαιωαννου Not only as singer, Caetano is a great poet and composer who dared to make arts during a time when consequences could be dreadful (hence his years in exile). I know nearly all of his songs are in Portuguese, but I suggest you to search translations of the lyrics, and even take a look on what is behind them. Very worthy experience of cultural enrichment. Other Brazilian musicians of the time who did the same were Chico Buarque de Holanda and Gilberto Gil. Salute to the Greek people.
