Synopsis

Rarely, if ever, has a Portuguese artist been admired so broadly. Among young and old, from north to south, in Portugal and within emigrant communities, at the relaxed summer festivals or in formal concert halls, with traditional music or jazz, on the radio or television, Toy has built a brand based on two things: music and sincerity.

Coração não Tem Idade tells Toy's life story in the first person. Unfiltered, it explores his loyalty to Setúbal, the family roots that connect him to northern Portugal and Spanish Andalusia, and his early awakenings to singing and musical instruments. It revisits teenage dramas, deep loves, intense passions, incredible excesses, and the relentless hardship of working as an emigrant machine turner in Germany, before venturing into the impressive agility of his creative process. 

Featuring dozens of personal photographs, handwritten lyrics to his most celebrated songs, and moving testimonials from family and friends, Toy's autobiography is an inspiring work, an example of creativity and perseverance.
