Label manager Nuno Saraiva<\/strong> comments, \u201cIt is an honour to be working with such great people on these releases, which we trust will be the definitive versions of Jos\u00e9 Afonso\u2019s recorded output. Working with agent Alain Vachier<\/strong>, who was Jos\u00e9\u2019s agent and shared so much on the road with him, and also with the legendary original artist of these album covers, Jos\u00e9 Santa-B\u00e1rbara<\/strong>, who is shepherding our graphic design work carried out by Jo\u00e3o Morais<\/strong> aka O Gajo<\/strong>\u2026 these are all amazing people to be working with, all for the greater purpose of returning these historic albums to the Portuguese people and in fact, the whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release schedule also foresees digital singles to be released ahead of each album, with Mais 5 being digitally distributed by One Level:UP Music Distribution, Portugal\u2019s first digital distributor to be affiliated with both the\u00a0MERLIN<\/strong>\u00a0Network and\u00a0AMAEI<\/strong>, the Portuguese Independent Music Trade Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
