Real name: Joaquim de Magalhães Fernandes Barreiros

Effective period / Period of releases: 1971 - 2010

As a child, Quim Barreiros drank the musical teachings of the great Minho tradition. As a teenager he traveled all over Portugal, already playing the accordion in contact with many other genres in our country. At the beginning of adulthood, he settled in Lisbon, where he frequented the Fado houses and inscribed his name in dozens and dozens of recordings. And with the discovery of his own voice as a singer and his vocation for fun rhymes and reactionary intervention chant in reverse. The path was opened to one of the most sui generis Portuguese musicians.
