Humanos
Humanos (Portuguese for Humans) was a supergroup from Portugal. Formed in 2004, it was created to bring to light and interpret unreleased songs by an iconic Portuguese artist, the 1980s singer-songwriter António Variações.
David Fonseca (the lead singer of Silence 4), Manuela Azevedo (the lead singer of Clã), Camané (one of the most famous Portuguese fadistas), Sérgio Nascimento (a member of Sérgio Godinho's band), Hélder Gonçalves (also from Clã), Nuno Rafael and João Cardoso were the seven members of the group. They were responsible for what became an unmatched success at that point in the Portuguese music scene.
The homonymous album Humanos scored quintuple platinum status, staying for weeks in #1. "Muda de Vida", "Maria Albertina" and "Rugas" are just some of the group hits.
The project culminated in four sold-out concerts, two of them in Coliseu dos Recreios (Lisbon), another in Porto and, lastly, at the Festival do Sudoeste (a summer music festival) for an audience of 40,000 people, in 2005.
The release, in November 2006, of a CD and a DVD recorded at the Coliseu concerts, marked the end of the Humanos project.
All songs by Humanos were written by António Variações who recorded them as demos only and kept them in a shoe box, found after his death.
