To the Correio da Manha, the Belgian singer - who in the decade 70 enchanted Portugal with "Petite demoiselle" - counts on what he saw in this Portuguese.

"That amazed me that a 20-year-old young person sings songs of people as Brel and Léo Ferré... It is not common. But more than that, I felt that he had an enormous talent, a talent there which was worth being to show in the World", he says.

A phone call made all the difference. Hugo admits that, that as a rule, he doesn't believe that the luck would come to knock in its door.

"Art called me on April 1st, the day of the Lie and I thought that if it was about a joke... But it was really as a serial! It was a dream ", he says, who has just thrown his first album, "Secrets Emotions" and in spite of the title, it's question to sing in Portuguese. A thing on which Art Sullivan insists: Hugo will have no music lessons. His vocation is spontaneous. "Nobody has any technique which teaches the main part. And the main part is the talent", he concludes.
