When we looked back there is a record work in a remarkable way, 1985 is "excuse any little thing" that is a different album, the controversial point. Considers yourself a singer fusion?
PC: Completely. I think the music has to mix culturally and I love working with people from Africa, from rock and this is what I have done all my life. Perhaps this may be why they do not understand well what I'm doing. I'm misunderstood, the country is culturally no big deal.
You mean if you did that record again, what do you think would be the public reaction?
PC: I have no idea. Maybe it was not the novelty it was at the time, 1985 is not 2014 then on the other hand, was a surprise to see me sing fado. I had sung before, but that for reasons I cannot control is the most heard and played work. But I had already sung fado and still do, only the environment in which we live, it is music, it is complicated and whether we like it or not, there are new forms of censorship and one of them is silence and it's been going very with me and with other musicians. Silencing the work is a form of censorship. I feel censored in that aspect.
All records that you edited what is that somehow defines you as a singer and songwriter.
PC: It's a record with texts only of women and is called "motherland". No one knows it. It's a record 1992, 93 with Mafalda Veiga, Dulce Pontes, Ana Zanatti, Rosa Maria Colaco, Maria Barroso, Ruth and Ne Ladeiras.
It is curious that you chose this album, where you not write any of the lyrics.
PC: I have not written, the idea was just asking women to write and many of them were not poets. Texts they had in drawers, often not even in the form of verse or poem, for example, the text Maria Barroso of which I took some lines that made sense and made a song. Many people were amazed, because they were not poets. Now, why many people do not know this record? I have no idea. A little story about one of the topics that this record was the Dulce Pontes song eventually also be sung later an albun of Ivan Lins, who is a great friend, who won an Emmy. But nobody knows that in Portugal, or say it, so, I'm on this record, won a prize so to speak. Are things that are happening and it's called life, that will be living.
Now, after 52 years you will release a new album?
PC: No, I will release music. I'm learning with my son, whose stage name is Agir, which is easier to do two or three songs and puts them in social networks and expect people to feel the need to hear. That might be better than records, which is a huge expense and are not used for anything.
The Portuguese public is also silent?
PC: No, the Portuguese public, like everyone else, just likes what they know, if you do not know no way you like it. That is what has happened. I, as a person in the music business, I cannot complain about the Portuguese public, people still know who I am and still know my name. Now, my work is not know, the media are always talking about the same, "after the goodbye," the "boys of Huambo", the "nini of age fifteen" and stop there. From this nothing is known, so it is that I say that silence is a new form of censorship.
