Biography

He was born to a family with many elements dedicated to that form of music.

He recorded and released his first album Fidjo Malguado in 1978, an instrumental work that relieves its virtuosity with a guitarist. Later on, he formed a main froup which recorded the album Dança Ma Mi criola. In 1996, he recorded his third album Graça de Tchega. Afterwards, he released two live albums, one about B. Leza. In 2002, he released his new album Guilhermina. His recent album is titled Mozamverde which featured tracks with musical styles of Cape Verde and Mozambique. Most the albums were released on the Paris-based record company Lusafrica.

He paid tribute to Miguel Portas at Teatros Luiz in Lisbon, where he sang a song titled "Sodade", originally sung by Cesária Évora. As a composer, he also wrote songs for Bana and Cesária Evora.

Tito Paris has toured numerous nations including Portugal, Spain, France especially Cannes, New York City and Boston in the United States, Canada, England, the Netherlands, Brussels in Belgium and Norway.
