Salvador Sobral lived in the USA, Mallorca, and Barcelona, where he studied Jazz at the prestigious Taller de Músics school. His career, defined by curiosity and a search for a unique musical identity, led him from the jazz scene to worldwide acclaim in 2017. That year, he won the Eurovision Song Contest with “Amar pelos Dois,” written by his sister Luísa Sobral, achieving the highest score in the competition’s history and receiving the Order of Merit of the Portuguese Republic in 2018.

Following the success of his solo albums Excuse Me (2016), Paris, Lisboa (2019), and the Latin Grammy-nominated bpm (2021), Salvador consolidated his presence in Brazil in 2023 with the tour of his fourth studio album, TIMBRE. In 2024, he made history as the first Portuguese artist to perform at the Goya Awards in Spain. The year 2025 was marked by the release of the collaborative album SÍLVIA & SALVADOR with Catalan singer Sílvia Pérez Cruz, followed by an international tour that sold out venues across Europe, Latin America, and Japan.

As one of the most prominent names of the new generation of Portuguese music, Salvador Sobral is currently preparing the release of his fifth studio album, scheduled for the second half of 2026. Titled A Flor do Recomeço, the project deepens his lifelong bond with Brazilian music. “I am absolutely convinced that music was born in Brazil,” says the singer, who grew up listening to Maria Bethânia in his mother’s car and Chico César in his father’s car—melodies that marked his childhood and largely shaped his craft as a vocalist.

The new record—named after a poem by the Potiguar writer Eveline Sin, set to music by Chico César—stems from the need to visit the “ultimate origin” to uncover timeless sounds without ever falling into caricature. The concept is a record of unreleased songs by Brazilian composers, played by Brazilian musicians, and sung by a Portuguese artist. The repertoire features brand-new tracks written by iconic names such as Adriana Calcanhotto, Arnaldo Antunes, Céu, Marcelo Camelo, Mallu Magalhães, Marcos Valle, and Tim Bernardes. The project is produced by Marcus Preto (artistic director for icons like Gal Costa and Erasmo Carlos) and Tó Brandileone (member of the collective 5 a Seco and Latin Grammy winner).

The album is further elevated by the participation of two legendary guest artists in memorable duets: Ney Matogrosso, a living legend and one of the most transgressive, performative, a visceral figures in the history of Brazilian popular music and owner of an unmistakable countertenor voice, Ney is a beacon of artistic freedom and Dora Morelenbaum, one of the most dazzling voices of the new wave of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music). A member of the acclaimed quartet Bala Desejo – with whom she won the Latin Grammy for Best Portuguese Language Contemporary Pop Album in 2022.
