Composer, trumpeter and bassist, Morgadinho, "nominho" by Joaquim Almeida, is one of the great names of Cape Verdean music, having edited two solo albums, being one of the central figures in most of the shows in which he participated with other Cape Verdean artists around the world.
Among his best known themes are "Um Criol na França", "Cabo Verde One 2000", "Um Página Voltod", always accompanied by the trumpet, the instrument with which he composed the instrumental "Flor Formosa".
