About Zeca Afonso

Zeca Afonso, born José Manuel Cerqueira Afonso dos Santos in 1929 in Portugal, was a pivotal figure in Portuguese music and political activism. He gained prominence in the mid-20th century, particularly known for his involvement in the Carnation Revolution, which led to the end of the Estado Novo dictatorship in 1974. His genre primarily included folk and protest music. Afonso's lyrics often centered on themes of political change, unity in resistance, and empowering the oppressed. His evocative storytelling also touched on enduring romantic love and the inevitability of death, making his work deeply resonant and multifaceted. Songs like "Grândola, Vila Morena" became anthems of revolution and hope.
