Portugal Eurovision 2017 winning song, in English, performed in the "Voice of Holland".

Nuno Bettencourt, lead guitarist of "Extreme" is Portuguese (from the Azores, actually).

Sarah Brightman literally raping one of Portugal's most iconic songs, "Canção do Mar" (Sea song), giving it a Northern Africa twist and calling it "Harem"...

The great Aznavour wrote a "Fado". It is actually more like a Rumba, but has very nice melody and words (in French)

Music from Cape Verde, by the late Cesária Évora. A beautiful 3-chord song.

For the ones who like a more cinematic style.

A tradicional Fado played as a pop/electronic groove.
