Jorge Palma will present the album “VIDA”, his new original work, at the Carlos do Carmo Auditorium, in Lagoa, on November 25th, at 19pm.
Tickets for this show cost 12 euros and are on sale now on the BOL and at the ticket offices of CTT, Fnac, Worten, Carlos do Carmo Auditorium, Convento de S. José Cultural Center and the Lagoa Municipal Council's Single Counter.
Jorge Palma started learning to play this instrument when he was just six years old. During his adolescence and alongside his classical training, he began to become interested in rock'n'roll, and in general in American and English popular music.
During the 70s and early 80s his artistic career was divided between his first phonographic releases in Portugal and the streets and metro carriages of European cities such as Paris and Copenhagen, where he faced the public with a guitar in hand.
He completed the Piano Course in 1990 and the following year he released the emblematic album “Só”. In the same decade, she formed “Palma's Gang” and took part in projects such as “Rio Grande” or “Cabeças no Ar”.
Throughout his career, he released several original albums, composed hits and had gold records, having reached the double platinum mark with “Voo Nocturno”. His work contains broadly transversal songs with themes such as “Frágil”, “Deixa-me Rir”, “Dá-me Lume” or “Encosta-te a mim”, which have become timeless anthems.
He won the José Afonso award in 2002, and in 2008 and 2012 he won the Golden Globe in the best individual performer category. His album “Com Todo o Respeito” was also awarded the Pedro Osório prize by the Portuguese Society of Authors.
The most recent period of Jorge Palma's life is marked by a moment of great activity in which projects such as “Juntos”, in which he shared the stage with Sérgio Godinho, stand out, as well as the celebration of historic albums such as “Bairro do Amor” and “Só”, with the latter result in the edition of “SÓ ao vivo”.
In 2020, he celebrated “70 Voltas ao Sol” at Castelo São Jorge, in a show with a chamber orchestra directed by maestro Cesário Costa. He was also awarded the Medal of Cultural Merit of the City of Lisbon and the Order of Infante Dom Henrique.
“70 voltas ao Sol” was released on CD and vinyl in 2021, having won the award for best album at the Play – Portuguese Music Awards. In 2023, he returns with the new album “VIDA”, the much-awaited new original work.
Vicente Palma, Pedro Vidal, Nuno Lucas, Gabriel Gomes, Francisco Palma and João Correia are the members of the band, composed of acoustic guitar and keys, electric guitar, bass, accordion and drums that accompany him.
