Both as a live and studio musician Manu Katché is one of the greatest drummers of our time. Possessed of a unique playing style, it’s because of his distinct mixture of elegance and power that, time and again, musicians and producers have sought his services. As Peter Gabriel’s drummer of choice Katché was hugely influential on his biggest hit Sledgehammer and, more recently, as the focal point of Gabriel's live band on his “Back to front” world tour. Katché’s long-running collaboration with Sting is also a key aspect of his career, and yet again his distinctive style lent itself to Sting’s greatest success, Englishman in New York.
Salvador Sobral (Lisbon 1989), surprised the world in 2017 by winning the Eurovision Song Festival for Portugal with the highest score ever obtained by any artist (even today), and with a song without any dressing, such as dance, lighting or screens. "Amar pelos dois" (Love for Both of Us), composed by his sister Luisa, won the prestigious award, while the singer was going through the worst moments of ill health, as he was on the waiting list for a heart transplant, that took place months later.
