Rui Manuel Reininho Braga best known as Rui Reininho (born February 28, 1955) is a Portuguese singer. Since 1981, he has been the lead vocalist of Portuguese rock band GNR. Singer, author of numerous lyrics and songs, he was one of the most loved by the media - and often controversial - symbol of the Portuguese rock scene. He was born in Porto and studied at the Lisbon Theatre and Film School (Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema).
Reininho recorded his first LP in 1977, with the Anarband band. The GNR only started to play in concert from 1980 onwards. They used to play for Carvalhido Church parochial parties in Porto and other similar events in the area. Rui Reininho went to a concert of GNR in Pavilhão do Académico (a sports pavilion in Porto) in order to interview the band and was eventually invited to join the group. In 1981, Reininho recorded his first album with GNR and remained with the band.
Rui Reininho and GNR create concerts where irony, parody and provocation dominate. The band had great success in Portugal during the 1980s and early 1990s when they reached a peak of nearly 200 live performances by year. They stage - in a language often enriched by the Porto slang - the caricatured and stereotyped sides of the city's inhabitants.[1]
