Record producer Mário Martins passed away on Thursday at the age of 90, in a hospital in Lisbon.
Mário Martins was residing at the Casa do Artista.
Mário Martins was instrumental in introducing artists such as Carlos Paião (1945-1988), Marco Paulo (1945-2024), José Cid, and Rui Veloso to the public.
In the late 1970s, Mário Martins played a key role in securing a contract for António Variações (1944-1984) with the record label Valentim de Carvalho, and his name is associated with the careers of many other Portuguese artists, from Amália Rodrigues (1920-1999) to Simone de Oliveira and Frei Hermano da Câmara.
