 Rita Larajeira has paid a musical tribute to the Carnation Revolution that took place in Portugal on 25 April 1974. She plays the song E depois do Adeus, which was the Portuguese Eurovision song by Paulo de Carvalho in 1974, and it was used as a signal to begin the Carnation Revolution against the Estado Novo regime at the time. Rita pays tribute 45 years on from the event.

Rita continues to show her versatility as a young artist. She represented Portugal at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Gosto De Tudo (Já Nāo Gosto De Nada).

You can see Rita perform E depois do Adeus below and you once again see her perform Gosto De Tudo (Já Nāo Gosto De Nada) in Minsk last November.

Some people thought it would never happen again but ABBA performed together on stage for the first time since 1982. Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad got together at a private function to celebrate 50 years of friendship.

Benny and Bjorn originally met in 1966 and later teamed up with Agnetha and Frida. It was an intimate meeting and the group performed The Way Old Friends Do from the Super Trouper album.

ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo and sold over 380 million albums around the world.
