Rui Manuel Reininho Braga, known as Rui Reininho, was born on February 28, 1955, in Porto, Portugal. He is a Portuguese singer who studied at the Lisbon Theatre and Film School. In 1977, Reininho recorded his first LP with the band Anarband alongside Jorge Lima Barreto. By 1981, he joined GNR, a Portuguese rock band, after attending one of their concerts and being invited to join. The group achieved significant success in Portugal during the 1980s and early 1990s, performing nearly 200 live shows annually. Their music often featured irony, parody, and provocation, and their performances were known for caricatured portrayals of Porto's inhabitants. In addition to his work with GNR, Reininho released the solo album Companhia Das Indias in 2008, which included the single "Bem Bom."
