Pedro Longes is a Portuguese songwriter who works in the tradition of fado and folk music. His 2012 album 'Longe' included 'Canção para os Dias da Vida,' a ballad that became widely known. He also wrote songs like 'Ela Também (Ella También)' and 'Cantiga da Cidade.'
Longes started with a debut album called 'Deixei-te Voar' in 2007. He has since released several others, including 'Mar Salgado' in 2014 and 'A Vida Não Espera' in 2017. His lyrics often deal with personal and social themes, which has drawn both praise and occasional debate.
He received the Prémio Amália Rodrigues award for Best Male Fado Singer. Beyond that, his work continues to be defined by straightforward songwriting rather than dramatic narratives.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
