Then Soraia Tavares sang Rui Veloso‘s “Primeiro Beijo” and Mariza‘s “Ó gente da minha terra”, for which she fell in love from the first time she sang it and now sings it whenever she can.
“I was six or seven years old when my father came home and said: “you have to watch one of my favorite movies”, and, without a doubt, that was one of those moments that mark us forever […]. My father showed me “The Wizard of Oz” and today is one of my favorite movies too” recalls Sissi Martins before singing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow “.
