Diogo Piçarra

In 2012 the 5th edition of "Ídolos" - which is the portuguese version of the british music contest "Idols" - aired here in Portugal. I actually didn't watch the show but I do know who own and that was a young gentleman named Diogo Piçarra.
In recent weeks I have fallen in love with a song of his - it's called "Tu E Eu" - and I can't get enough of it. Also recently I read a tweet which said something along the lines of "Diogo Piçarra is the proof that portuguese music is still good". When reading that I thought to myself that I couldn't agree more.

From my teen years till now I rejected pretty much any sort of portuguese music because I just didn't like it. I didn't reject it all but the people that made great music, the ones that to me had good and even great songs didn't have the type of music I enjoyed. So I never heard portuguese music! But now that I have found Diogo's music enjoyable and I might even dare to say that I'm a bit obsessed with one of his songs, I will definitely open myself to more portuguese music and hopefully I will be surprised.

For all of you non-portuguese people who most likely don't know who Diogo is - and also to the portuguese people who also don't know him -  I am gonna leave here his links so you guys can check him out if you'd like to!

That tweet that I mentioned was absolutely right. His music is great and the fact that he's portuguese makes me feel even prouder to be portuguese too!
