His relationship with Portugal was through his wife's family

His relationship with Portugal was through his wife's family, Virginia's father died. He was Portuguese, from Santarém, and we went to throw his ashes into the Tagus River. We met with the Virginia family. It was not a very good situation, because it was a loss, but the people there embraced us in an incredible way. Virginia is also Portuguese, the daughter of Portuguese parents, they have brothers who live in the USA but are Portuguese. This connection with Portugal is very strong. And the people there like it — from Portugal, Brazil, Africa. They like our songs and the concerts are going to be to show these songs live to the people and to be able to thank them for the affection that we always receive from Portugal.
