- NEW ALBUM -
QUEM É O JOSÉ VALENTE
AVAILABLE NOW IN ALL PLATFORMS!
“Quem é o José Valente” reaffirms José Valente’s place as one of the most daring and innovative figures in Portuguese music. This work, a true love letter to musical art, goes beyond a traditional album: it is a creative journey that mixes genres, tributes and artistic explorations, elevating the viola to new horizons.
Miguel Barba, Rua de Baixo.
A viola that knows how to listen to the world.
José Valente is whoever he wants to be.
Miguel Halpern, JL - Jornal de letras, artes e ideias.
A musician who defies conventions and redefines the limits of his instrument, José Valente is an unavoidable name when we talk about innovation and irreverence in Portuguese music.
Pedro Mendes, Coffeepaste.
What characterizes José Valente’s music is the ability to question the canon without denying it, to dismantle the form without disintegrating it. Each of his pieces, each project in which he is involved, carries this tension: between what is known and what has not yet been heard.
Vítor Rua, Rimas e Batidas.
