Release Notes:
Pedro Barroso was born in Lisbon in 1950. His parents were both teachers. He
does his first songwriting still very young and makes his first TV appearance in
1969 on a very popular program called Zip Zip, wich is followed by his first
record. He joins the Experimental Theatre Company of Cascais, were he keeps on
composing, singing and also acting for some years.
He's licenced in Ph. Education (73) with a post graduation degree in
Psychotherapy. Along with his records he published some poetry and
etnomusicology studies. He keeps having a regular colaboration including
countless opinion articles on several papers , and also had some radio and tv
programs of his own.
He is known for his strong yet sensitive style and his lyrics usually display
his everlasting themes - Love, Nature, Sensuality, the Sea, the History and,
above all, Solidarity. He is also a born communicator speaking six languages.
In his concerts, Mr. Barroso plays mostly the guitar and the piano but also some
old portuguese chord instruments and percussions.
Pedro Barroso has been awarded several prizes and distinctions both in Portugal
and abroad. He has done concerts in Portugal - virtually everywhere - and also
in Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden,
Canada, Brasil, Hungary, Macao and United States of America.
He lives in the country, retired from the big decision centres proudly relutant
to most marketing influences running a studio in his small farm where he
produces his own - and often also other artist's - records.
Pedro Barroso is co-author with JosΘ Saramago who was awarded with a Nobel
Literature Prize in 1998 - song Afrodite (in LP ┴gua mole em pedra dura, 1978).
The CD "Cr≤nicas da Violentφssima Ternura", his most recent work of originals,
was published in 2001.
"De viva voz", alive, was edited on 2002 with tracks captured in various
concerts all over the country.
His second book, "das mulheres e do mundo" (Ed. Mirante), was published in 2003.
During 2005, Mr Barroso celebrated his 35th anniversary as author and poet,
editing both the CDs "Navegador do Futuro" and "Antologia". "Navegador do
Futuro" was elected the best year's CD by Central FM Radio. "Antologia" colects
all the relevant work from 1982 to 1990.
His first fiction book, also published in 2005, is called "A hist≤ria
maravilhosa do paφs bimbo".
With a carreer of almost 40 years he slowly slide away from the early exclusive
folkworks to a more elaborated and intimate style with a progressivly serious
consideration from everybody as a first choice author and composer.
It's very common to see him going to colleges and universities to lecture or
perform in portuguese studies Centers or just in places where the producers are
searching for other cultures and styles running away from the usual poprock
standards and where a different kind of intimate concert is respected and
appreciated.
"Sensual Idade" is his new record, where sex and sexuality is the main theme.
