25 years… From the 17 years-old Wanda, hanging around in her room, listnening to Blondie, Chiffons or Jane Birkin, fascinated by the images shining all over her, to the confirmed artist established in the European music scene with more than eight albums, numerous singles, some amazing videos ( with such directors as Jean-Pierre Jeunet ), and hundreds of worldwide shows, it seems like a tremendous gap... maybe it’s just a step.

Born in Mangalde, a tiny village in northern Portugal, Lio’s career started in a dazzling over-night explosion with the release of Banana Split, the exquisite - instantly fixed in your mind - single, soon followed by the other european chart favorite Amoureux solitaires ( both singles sold respectively 2 and 5 millions copies ). Far from an artificial glorious feat doomed to decline as fast as it went up, these years were the begining of a full, rich and eclectic career we had to celebrate with this Best Of - Pop Songs & Ballades, ending the reissues serie by Ze Records where you can find the first seven albums, digitally remastered and trimmed with exclusive bonus tracks.
