Avelino
Avelino, known by his stage name Nininho Vaz Maia, is a Portuguese singer and songwriter celebrated for his unique blend of pop, flamenco, and romantic ballads. Born and raised in the impoverished neighborhood of Picheleira in Lisbon, he faced significant challenges in his early life, including legal troubles that led him to house arrest. His music career took off after a home video posted on YouTube garnered attention, helping him build a dedicated fanbase. In 2022, his debut album 'Raízes' achieved platinum status, and he sold out major concert venues in Portugal. Recently, he has been in the news due to his involvement in a police operation targeting drug trafficking, where he is suspected of money laundering related to drug activities, although he has not been detained.
