Jorge Goes, born on July 31, 1968, in Elvas, Portugal, has devoted his life to music, proudly embracing his identity as a versatile and passionate singer. From an early age, his natural gift for singing was evident

in 1993, he made his debut at a charity event in Elvas, supporting volunteer firefighters. He soon began performing at Fado houses in Lisbon and took part in various talent competitions on television and radio.

A pivotal moment in his artistic journey occurred in 1997, when he shared the stage with the legendary Fado singer Camané at the Crato Festivals. This collaboration marked a significant turning point in his evolution as a performer.

In 2000, Jorge entered a new chapter in his blossoming career, when the esteemed musician José Cid, a Latin Grammy winner, invited him to record his debut album, Contra A Corrente, which blended jazz influences. Released in 2001 by UpRecords in Europe and Ovação in Portugal, the album, produced by Cid himself, sparked a national tour that took him to numerous radio and TV appearances in both Portugal and Spain.

In 2003, Jorge was honored by the Municipality of Elvas with the “Merit and Distinction” award, a recognition of his invaluable contributions to both local and national culture.

After several years of performing across the country, Jorge Goes released his second album, Tempo ao Tempo (2013), a jazz-inspired masterpiece produced by André Sarbib and Claudio Cesar Ribeiro. The album featured Jorge's original songs and collaborations with esteem artists like Paulo de Carvalho and Ivan Lins. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Jorge also founded the ArtJazz Festival in Elvas that same year. This event, now in its 10th edition, continues to thrive and, in 2024, will expand to Ponte de Sôr, further solidifying its cultural significance.

In 2017, Jorge embraced a new challenge, recording his first Fado album, Fado Novo Fado Velho, which he dedicated to his father. Produced in collaboration with Carlos Menezes, this album was presented in 2018 at the Casa do Alentejo in Lisbon and the Cine Teatro in Elvas, where it received glowing reviews from both critics and audiences alike.

During the pandemic hiatus in 2020, Jorge took advantage of the time to compose new songs, collaborating with renowned poets and close friends.

In 2022, he began recording his fourth album, Essências, which marked his second venture into the world of Fado. Produced by Filipe Larsen, the album features thirteen original songs and notable collaborations with figures such as Tozé Brito, Manuel Alegre, José Cid, and Vitorino. It also includes a Spanish version of one of the tracks, translated by the renowned Spanish poet Javier Feijóo. Released in June 2023, Essências was preceded by several promotional singles and was followed by a series of electrifying live performances.

In April 2024, Jorge was invited to represent Portugal at the prestigious Viva Venezuela World Festival in Caracas, Venezuela, where his performance was met with resounding success and praise from Venezuelan Minister of Culture, Mary PemJean.

Looking ahead, 2025 will see the debut of Jorge’s new project: Me va, Me va, a tribute concert to the greatest Latin music icon of all time, Júlio Iglesias. Accompanied by an orchestra under the direction of Maestro Jaime Reyes, this highly anticipated concert is already being hailed as the finest tribute of our time. Jorge’s voice, with its strikingly similar timbre to that of Iglesias, ensures that no one will be left indifferent to his mesmerizing stage presence. The concert premiered nationally on April 25 in Campo Maior and again on April 28 in Cáceres, Spain, and a world tour is already being planned for the years ahead.
