May his music continue to inspire generations and echo as a testament to a rare gift: the ability to move people through one's voice. Thank you, Nuno, for having existed," are the heartfelt words of Manuel Moura dos Santos.

We miss you deeply, and this tribute is a small thank you for everything you mean to us," says Vítor Aleixo, Mayor of Loulé, with emotion.

Nuno Guerreiro, one of the most remarkable voices in Portuguese music over the last three decades, passed away on April 17, 2025, at the age of 52.

His unmistakable voice, immortalized through the Ala dos Namorados (Lover's Wing), gave life to songs – many of them written by João Monge with Manuel Paulo and João Gil – that have marked generations, such as "Loucos de Lisboa", "Solta-se o Beijo", "A História do Zé Passarinho", "Caçador de Sóis", "Fim do Mundo" and "Siga a Marinha", songs that are part of Portugal's emotional and musical heritage.
