Adriano Correia de Oliveira

Adriano Maria Correia Gomes de Oliveira, GCIH, ComL, or just Adriano (9 April 1942 – 16 October 1982) was a Portuguese musician, born to a conservative Roman Catholic family in Porto. His family moved to Avintes after his birth. He went to Coimbra to study at the University of Coimbra, and eventually dropped out, albeit being involved in the student activism and Coimbra fado music. Adriano was part of a generation of composers and singers of political songs that used music and lyrics to fight against the Estado Novo dictatorial regime.
