CCC's Street Art Contest #251 "Zeca Afonso" - Odeith - Amadora, Portugal [Eng-Pt]
Good afternoon, friends!
Welcome to another post in the Street Art community!
Good morning, everyone! Welcome to another post in this community!
A couple of weeks ago I shared here a work by an artist who is very well known in Portugal, and is well known for his work and his anamorphic technique, which I have described on other occasions. Today, I want to share a second work by the same artist, Odeith. This mural is located a few meters from “Amália Rodrigues” mural, and its main theme is the famous artist Zeca Afonso. José Manuel Cerqueira Afonso dos Santos was born in Aveiro on August 2, 1929, and died in Setubal in 1987. He was undoubtedly one of the most recognized and best-remembered Portuguese singers and songwriters of all time. His best-known work is the song “Grândola, Vila Morena” (Youtube link), which was used as a code by the Armed Forces Movement when it broadcast it on national radio, announcing that the April 25 Revolution was underway. It has always been associated with intervention and political music.
With roots in Fado de Coimbra, he was one of the main figures in the renewal of Portuguese music, which became more important from the 1960s to the 1970s, with various left-wing intervention songs against the regime in Portugal until 1974.
His songs still inspire many artists today, both Portuguese and foreign, and it is estimated that there are more than 300 versions of his songs recorded by more than a hundred performers, which elevates him to the status of the Portuguese composer with the greatest worldwide popularity and importance.
Other works by Odeith that I have previously published:

Há duas semanas partilhei aqui um trabalho de um artista muito conhecido em Portugal, e bastante reconhecido pelo seu trabalho e pela sua técnica anamorfica, que eu já descrevi em outras oportunidades. Hoje, quero partilhar um segundo trabalho desse mesmo artista, Odeith. Este mural encontra-se a poucos metros do mural "Amália Rodrigues", é tem como tema principal o famoso artista Zeca Afonso. José Manuel Cerqueira Afonso dos Santos, nasceu em Aveiro a 2 de Agosto de 1929, e faleceu em Setubal em 1987, e foi sem sombra de dúvidas um dos cantores e compositores portugueses mais reconhecidos e mais lembrados de sempre. A sua obra mais conhecida é a canção "Grândola, Vila Morena" (ligação do Youtube), que foi usada como código pelo Movimento das Forças Armadas, quando a transmitiu na rádio nacional, a anunciar que a Revolução de 25 de Abril estava em curso. Sempre foi associado a música de intervenção e com cariz politico.
Tendo raízes no Fado de Coimbra, foi uma das principais figuras da renovação da música portuguesa, que se veio a tomar uma maior importância desde 1960 a 1970, com várias canções de intervenção, de cariz esquerdista e contra o Regime até 1974 presente em Portugal.
As suas canções ainda hoje inspiram vários artistas, quer portugueses, quer estrangeiros, e estima-se que existam mais de 300 versões das suas canções gravadas por mais de uma centena de interpretes, o que o eleva a uma condição de compositor português com maior divulgação e importância Mundial.
