CFifty years after “Semear Salsa ao Reguinho”, Vitorino returns to the starting point of his recording career. This album, released in 1975, became a classic of Portuguese music, for capturing, in the heat of the Revolutionary Period in Course (PREC), the amazement of a country that was inventing itself. Now, the experienced singer-songwriter revisits it with a new edition that brings together old companions and voices from generations that came after. This is not, however, a mere exercise in nostalgia: it is an affirmation of relevance in the present. I really miss it, Vitorino guarantees, just the challenges ahead: “We need to make ourselves heard again.” “Portugal, in 1975, was the best country in the world for a man in his 30s who had lived, until then, in a very decadent social environment”, the Alentejo singer and composer recalls to Expresso. Vitorino justifies: “Dictatorships, when they are in crisis, become more repressive and insecure. And, suddenly, the gray disappeared: everything turned red, with soldiers smiling, people hugging each other without knowing each other. Things that only happen once or twice in a century.”
