He moved to Paredes 27 years ago. The Brazilian singer died on Tuesday in Brazil, far from the country he adopted.
Matheus never planned an international musical career. The success of the duo Lucas & Matheus in Portugal came almost by chance. Edílson Rodrigues, Matheus of the Sertanejo duo, left Brazil 27 years ago and decided to settle in Recarei, a municipality of Paredes where he continued to produce hits for consumption on both sides of the Atlantic until death took him, this Tuesday, at 57 years later of contracting Covid-19.
Matheus was infected in Portugal before a trip to Brazil, where he arrived on the 11th.
“I was happy in Portugal”
Born in the dynamic city of Presidente Prudente, in the interior of São Paulo, Matheus decided to live in Portugal and for that change of life, he joined his wife Fabiani and two children a year ago. “I was happy in Portugal,” Eduardo Simões, a friend of the singer, told the digital newspaper “O Imparcial”. Simões remembers “a very special person with great simplicity”.
If before he divided his life between Portugal and Brazil, with the arrival of his family, Matheus began to stay longer in Recarei. And the concerts in Portugal have also multiplied.
Two years ago, Lucas & Matheus worked at the Coliseu do Porto to mark their 25-year career. The legion of fans is directly proportional to the successes of the two brothers: 22 gold, 14 platinum and 12 double platinum records. At the beginning of December, Matheus was on RTP’s ‘Praça da Alegria’ program to promote the project / single ‘Natal Diferente’, a collaboration with artists Cláudia Caramelo, José Malhoa, Nuno Portugal, Paulo Ribeiro and Will Souto. A few days later he appeared again on a program, this time on ‘Aqui Portugal’.
Public figures mourn death
RTP presenter Sónia Araújo was one of the figures to react to Matheus’s death. “But when will this end? “The presenter wrote in the caption of her Instagram account, a record of the last visit of the Brazilian musician to RTP, in early December.
The presenter José Figueiras also published a photo with Matheus on the same social network, revealing that he lost “another friend, a singer, an excellent person.”
