ABOUT THE SONG
The song ‘A Noite Passada’, by Sérgio Godinho, is a lyrical journey through dreams and memories, intertwining reality and fantasy in a poetic and engaging way. The lyrics narrate a series of dreamlike encounters between the lyrical self and a mysterious figure, possibly a past love or an embodiment of desires and memories.
THE ARTIST
Cantor, compositor, escritor, ator (de teatro e cinema) e realizador, Sérgio Godinho é, para citar uma das suas canções clássicas, o verdadeiro “homem dos sete instrumentos”.
Mas, numa carreira artística de invejável longevidade, que se prolonga há mais de 50 anos, foi o seu trabalho enquanto cantor-compositor que o tornou num ícone capaz de reunir à volta das suas canções gerações de diferentes idades, vivências e aspirações. Muitas foram as canções escritas, os duetos com artistas de grande relevo da música nacional e Internacional, uma vasta discografia e inúmeras homenagens.
