Vitor Bacalhau landed a place on the podium of the European Blues Challenge 2018 in Hell, Norway, after beating off stiff competition from 21 other European Jazz ensembles.
It is the first time a Portuguese musician has taken an award at the competition.
Speaking to Sul Informação, the musician said, “It was an excellent experience and a great opportunity to make contacts all over Europe. I feel very proud of the outcome.”
