A guest on the latest edition of Posto Emissor alongside his son, Agir, Paulo de Carvalho recalled his participation in the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with the band Os Amigos, alongside Fernando Tordo and Ana Bola, among others. The musician revealed that, three years after the 25th of April Revolution, RTP did not approve of that symbol of the Revolution being displayed on an international stage, in this case in London. One voice, on behalf of everyone, stood up.
Paulo de Carvalho: “We thought we should carry a carnation in our hand, but RTP didn't like it. Tordo had to say: ‘either there's a carnation or there's no song.’ There was a carnation”
