His History And Involvement In Music Go Back Way Before That-In Fact To The Very Day Of His Birth 30th May 1963 In Mindelo The Principal City On The Island Of São Vicente. When You're Born Into A Family Where Everyone Is Somewhat Musical It's Hard To Escape Music. Not Having Any More Resistance Than The Next Guy Tito Paris Also Succumbed. He Had Music In His Heart As Much As In His Soul. If He Strolls Down Memory Lane He Remembers His Escapades In Bars Unbeknownst To His Mother Taking Advantage Of His Father's Absences.

He Played With His Brothers And Cousin Bau Already Quite Skilful On The Cavaquinho And Who Would Also Become Famous Later On.

Guilhermina The New Album Prolongs The Pleasure Of The Previous Ones Or Even Better Magnifies It And Gives It Wings. Here Gorged With The Blues His Voice Asserts Itself Present And Instinctive While The Guitar Displays An Eloquence Ever More Fascinating. From Inexpressible Melancholy To Coarse Hip-Swaying With Large Traits Of Sadness And Fruited Scents. All Of That Is To Be Found In Guilhermina I.E. Mornas Tinged With Saudade That Sorrowful Serenity That Nostalgia That Constantly Imbues Cape Verdean Music But Also Coladeiras And Funana Joyous Propositions And Temptations To Dance.

Although He Is Anxious To Preserve The Singularity The Creole Genius And The Tradition Of The Music Of Cape Verde Tito Paris An Enthusiastic Volunteer Ambassador Of The Musical Soul Of His Country Also Knows How To Open Doors And Windows And Build Bridges. He Invents Without Ever Forgetting Where He Comes From.
