About the author
The singer and songwriter Rita Joana Pinheiro Maia is a conimbricense , whose childhood spent in the village of Santo Varão, under Mondego, was marked by the freedom of the rural environment.
However, his family sought better living conditions in Coimbra, where he attended a Catholic school.
His tastes beyond music, cross the universe of philosophy and cinema.
With 16/17 years old he had to take care of his family and assume himself as his pillar. In 2016 Rita Joana became an informal caregiver for her father , a disabled man of war, and a brother seven years younger. In her personal life, she was involved in the struggle for the dignity of Justice, the Human Rights of Portuguese prisons and the questions themselves about the processes of Preventive Measures. He was always attentive and followed the struggle of the Armed Forces Handicapped , through direct contact with ADFA members and leaders, since he was three years old, ending up getting involved in his struggles. Later she became her mother's Informal Caregiver. Recently he fought for the Statute of Informal Caregiver where he appeared on the front line, with political debates and fervor in his soul for the same to exist.
Late and in the midst of social causes, she realizes the desire to be a singer.
