From his travels abroad, Variações was able to get in touch with artists and genres which were not widely known back home and began fusing genres such as pop, rock, jazz, blues and new wave with his Portuguese folk and fado roots.
Durch seine Reisen ins Ausland war Variações in der Lage, in Kontakt mit Künstlern und Genres, die zuhause nicht sehr bekannt waren, zu kommen, und begann Genres wie Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues und New Wave mit seinem portugiesischen Folk und Fado-Wurzeln zu kombinieren.
