Editor's note

Tavito, the Portuguese singer-songwriter from Montijo

A folk-rock voice who started with Aqui d'El Rei before going solo in the mid-90s.

For a sense of his sound, try 'O Rio' or 'Romance de Estrada.' They have that folk-rock feel he's known for.

Tavito's music has a quiet persistence in Portuguese culture. 'Rua Ramalhete' from 1998 became one of those songs people just know. His catalog includes tracks like 'Meu Lugar' and 'O Dia Em Que Nasceu Nosso Amor' that feel lived-in rather than flashy.

He began in the late 1980s with the band Aqui d'El Rei, working on albums like 'Um Mar de Gente.' The solo debut 'Se Eu Fosse Um Rio' arrived in 1995, followed by albums such as 'Sete Mares' and 'Flores ao Mar.'
