He co-founded the band Sétima Legião in 1982 and Madredeus in 1985. As his solo records started to receive increasing attention, he suspends his colaborations with these two groups in 1993 and 1994.
His solo work explores a combination of modern-classic compositions with more traditional song format and instrumentation. Several artists have participated in both his records and tours, such as Lula Pena or Adriana Calcanhotto in Alma Mater and Beth Gibbons and Ryuichi Sakamoto (Ryuichi Sakamoto) in Cinema.
His album, Cinema, was very successful in the portuguese market, reaching #1 in sales and its promotion concerts in Portugal and Spain were frequently sold-out. In this album, the ecletic roots of his music and the influence of cinema can be appreciated.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que yo me muero
Amor
Mi vida es sufrimiento
Yo
Te quiero en mi camino
Por vos
Cambiaba mi destino
Ay
Abrázame esta noche
Aunque no tengas ganas
Prefiero que me mientas
Tristes breves nuestras vidas
Acércate a mí

Entrégate a mis brazos
Tengo
Un corazón penando
Yo sé
Que vos lo está escuchando
Con
Mil lágrimas te quiero
Pasión
Sos mi amor sincero
Ay
Abrázame esta noche
Aunque no tengas ganas
Prefiero que me mientas
Tristes breves nuestras vidas
Acércate a mí
Abrázame a ti por dios
Entrégate a mis brazos
