Diário Digital Castelo Branco – Albicastrense young man shines at “The Voice Portugal”
The standard ones simply rocked, with a feeling and depth almost unthinkable for a boy of such a young age, with a voice that “marries” perfectly with the piano he has been following.
Beirão de Coração was born and lives in Castelo Branco, early on he awakened to the world of music, influenced by his uncle.
Currently attending the Castelo Branco Regional Conservatory, he decided to try his luck on one of the biggest stages in Portugal and with greater visibility at national and international level: the program THE VOICE PORTUGAL 2021/2022 – 9th Edition, on RTP.
He performed at Provas Cegas, in the premiere of the program, with the theme “Maldição”, by Amália Rodrigues, sitting at the piano and with his unmistakable voice. And what an intense and profound moment of depth… what a soul… what an emotion… an unusual voice for a boy of his young age.
It gained special interest from mentors António Zambujo and Marisa Liz, who overturned the chairs. The choice of Rodrigo ended up pointing to António Zambujo and won the highest praise from these and other mentors Diogo Piçarra and Aurea, despite not having turned, and having expressed regret for it.
On December 5th, it was his turn to perform on stage for the Battle Phase. Before this performance, he mentioned that he would give everything to move on to the next stage and continue to win even more over the Portuguese with his “old soul” voice.
After the name of a teammate of António Zambujo’s team that was chosen for the duel – Rui Taipa – we witnessed one of the most emotional and powerful Battles of this edition. Rodrigo Lourenço sang the theme “La llorona”, by Chavela Vargas, again accompanying himself on the piano… and what a chilling moment! All mentors were unanimous in choosing Rodrigo to move on to the next stage (Tira-Teimas), with full praise and congratulations for his performance, with the final verdict of the mentor of the team in question – António Zambujo – passing Rodrigo to the next stage, thus continuing your journey through the program. Unfortunately, the colleague Rui Taipa, despite having also had a high level presentation, ended up not being saved by any of the other mentors.
If you already had a reasonable group of fans with your Youtube channel that in the last year was “feeding” with various Covers that it was developing, after its participation in The Voice, the projection of the channel has been mind-blowing, as well as the words of support and encouragement arising from all quarters.
In the Tira-Teimas Stage, on December 12th, he performed on stage with a theme again in Portuguese: “Papel Principal”, which earned him the highest praise from his mentors and later on social media.
In the Galas live, he debuted in the 1st time, this time with a theme in English: “Love of my Life”, by Queen, not leaving anyone indifferent again for his voice and interpretive capacity.
At the next Gala, he will sing again in the language of Camões, imprinting the imprint already so typical of this young performer.
At this stage, public voting has been open since last Sunday and as such, we are calling for a vote for Rodrigo Lourenço in order to personalize him in the program.
Stay tuned and don’t forget to support and vote for this young man who has so much to give and delight.
