About Rui Reininho

- Since 1981, he has been the lead vocalist of Portuguese rock band GNR.
- As a singer-songwriter of numerous lyrics and songs, he is one of the most beloved, and often controversial, icons of the Portuguese rock scene.

- In 1981, Reininho recorded his first album with GNR and has remained with the band ever since. Rui Reininho and GNR create concerts where irony, parody and provocation dominate.
- The band had great success in Portugal during the 1980s and early 1990s when they reached a peak of nearly 200 live performances by year.
- They stage - in a language often enriched by the Porto slang - the caricatured and stereotyped sides of the city's inhabitants.
