Manuela Bravo
Show notes
Manuela Bravo participated for Portugal in 1979, which by many fans is considered to be a really good year, but still she managed to give Portugal one of its best results ever until their victory in 2017. Born from a musical family, she started her career at only five years old, and sixteen years later she was offered the happy-go-lucky "Sobe, sobe, balão sobe" for the Portugese national final after an other artist had turned the song down.
Who was her biggest opponent in Portugal, what does she remember from the Eurovision final in the holy land, and what did she think about the result? She recorded the song in Portuguese, English and French and it's still a classic in Portugal which has been both covered and sampled by many other artists. What does she do these days?
