[1983] [Portugal]
António Variações is a music legend in Portugal.
António Variações had moved to Lisbon from a small town in the North of Portugal when he was a very young lad. He then travelled to and lived in New York and Amsterdam.
He became a hairdresser and a very famous person in Lisbon's nightlife. Then he decided to sing.
In the early 80s Portugal had had a revolution 6 years ago and after that period of freedom and happiness, Portugal entered a gray, serious and dull moment in time. That's why he was so well received - he was an extravagant weird-looking man like no one had seen before. His music based on modern synth sounds and also on the Portuguese traditional music (he was a huge fan of Amália Rodrigues) was appealing from grandmothers to young kids.
António died in 1994 from pneumonia a few months after releasing his second album. His death is rumoured to have been AIDS-related but this was never confirmed.
