In an interview with Diário de Notícias and DN Brasil in 2025, when he did his last tour hereCriolo highlighted the importance of these connections built over the years with artists from Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking countries. THE rapper recalled that the relationship with Portugal began in 2013 and deepened with presentations and collaborations.
With more than three decades of career, Criolo has established himself as one of the most relevant names in contemporary Brazilian music, moving between genres and expanding the dialogue with different musical scenes. The Portuguese Dino D’Santiago has stood out in European music by crossing Cape Verdean references with urban sounds, while Amaro Freitas has gained international recognition as one of the most inventive pianists in current jazz.
