Jorge Palma is the new confirmation of the Heineken Stage on the second day of NOS Alive. One of the most iconic musicians in the country joins live and in color for the celebrations of the 15th edition of the festival.
A composer and performer admired by his colleagues, loved by the public, too famous for the role of an obscure genius, and too genuine and rebellious to be a predictable and formatted musician, Jorge Palma is a rare case in Portugal.
His life journey can always be observed along with the music. An accomplished pianist, he started learning to play this instrument at just six years old. During adolescence and alongside his erudite training, he began to take an interest in rock’n’roll, and in general American and English popular music. During the 1970s and early 1980s, his artistic career was divided between his first phonographic editions in Portugal and the streets and metro carriages of European cities such as Paris and Copenhagen, where he faced the public with guitar in hand.
He finished the Higher Piano Course in 1990 and the following year he released the emblematic album “Só”. In the same decade, he formed “Palma’s Gang” and was part of projects such as “Rio Grande” or “Cabeças no Ar”. Throughout his career, he released several original albums, composed hits, and added gold records, having reached the double platinum mark with “Voo Nocturno”. His work contains widely transversal songs with themes such as “Frágil”, “Deixa-me Rir”, “Dá-me Lume” or “Encosta-te a mim”, which have become timeless hymns.

He won the José Afonso Award in 2002, and in 2008 and 2012 he won the Golden Globe in the category of best individual performer. His album “Com Todo o Respeito” was also awarded by the Portuguese Society of Authors with the Pedro Osório prize.
The most recent period in the life of the Portuguese musician is marked by a moment of great activity in which projects such as “Juntos”, in which he shared the stage with Sérgio Godinho, stand out, as well as the celebration of historic records such as “Bairro do Amor” and “Só”, with the latter result in the edition of “Só ao vivo”. In 2020 he celebrated “70 Voltas ao Sol” at Castelo São Jorge, in a show with a chamber orchestra conducted by maestro Cesário Costa. He was also awarded the Medal of Cultural Merit of the City of Lisbon and the Order of Infante Dom Henrique.
“70 voltas ao Sol” was released on CD and vinyl in 2021, having won the award for best album at the Play – Portuguese Music Awards.
In 2023 he returns with the new album “VIDA”, the much anticipated new work of originals and NOS Alive to perform on the second day of the 15th edition.
