MANUELA LOPESBand/artist history
I was born in Mozambique, Africa in 1963 and I came to Portugal in 1975, after the end of fascist regime in Portugal. 4 years later, I was lucky enough to sign with the producers of Bonnie Tyler and Status Quo.
In 1983 I began singing swing and jazz, in a local pub.
In 1985, I sang with the British sax player Ronnie Scott in a show in Vale do Lobo, Algarve. I got wonderful reviews from the local press. From then on I formed several bands with musicians from Portugal, America, Holland, England, Germany and Spain.
I grew on experience and creativity. I started writing my own compositions on guitar and piano.
In 1993 I won a prize in a Television competition and I was invited several times to national TV has a guest singer.
In 1995 I sang with a Portuguese big band, conducted by a famous Portuguese contrabass player.
Between 1995 and 1996 I did several performances in musical festivals in the Algarve.
In 1998, I produced my own CD, called "Paisagens", where I included 3 of my songs.
In 2004 I had the chance to sing on the first part of All Jarreau's show in Algarve.
I m influenced by all the great jazz singers such as Billie, Ella, Sarah, Tony Bennet, Sinatra and many others.Have you performed in front of an audience?I sing and play the guitar
