In the year in which he celebrates 45 years of career and 70 years of life, musician Fernando Correia Marques came to Alta Definição to talk to Daniel Oliveira about his past in Mozambique and his first years of life in Portugal, still during the dictatorship. “I lived my childhood in great freedom; When I came to Portugal they told me to be careful with PIDE and I asked… What is that?”, he recalls. A childhood without a father and the teachings of his grandfather, with whom he worked for the first time at the age of nine in his barbershop, were fundamental moments for the person, and artist, he became. “I felt like I had to be the strongest man in the world”, he says, but that’s what earned him the success ‘Sei Que Vou Sobreviver’. Later, the shock of his mother’s death also changed his plans. “There was no need to tell me that my mother had died. I was at a rally singing her favorite song and I burst into tears,” he recalls.
