A key figure in the Fado universe, his extant poetic work consists of roughly 3,000 verses. His lifetime struggle on behalf of Fado – namely of its settings and protagonists, together with his huge poetic talent, granted him the epithet “Prince of Poets”. He was one of the most important Popular Fado Poets.
