José Cid marked an extraordinary milestone: 70 years in music. At 84, he had just performed a 2.5-hour concert with two encores for 3,000 people on 1st May, proving his enduring energy on stage. He expressed strong pride in the Portuguese language and in the recognition he continues to receive, including the recent “Mother Language Prize.” Still artistically active and forward-looking, he is preparing a new album, Young at 80, while insisting that authenticity and emotion must remain at the heart of musical creation. Cid also highlighted his international legacy, notably 10,000 Anos Depois Entre Vénus e Marte, recognized by Sputnikmusic and featured in the Top 100 Best Progressive Rock Albums by Billboard.
