Eduardo Nascimento was a Portuguese singer of Angolan descent.
Nascimento was the leader of a five-member band, Os Rocks, formed in Luanda in 1962. The band travelled to mainland Portugal in the mid-1960s, participating in song festivals and releasing a well-received EP, "Wish I May", in 1966.
In 1967, he participated at the Festival da Canção with the song O vento mudou, and won, representing Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest 1967. This made him the first black man to participate at Eurovision, with the first black woman debuting a year before. It finished in 12th place.
With Os Rocks, Nascimento released another EP, "Don't Blame Me", in 1968, before giving up his musical career and returning to Angola in 1969.
He died on 22 November, 2019 at the age of 75 after a long illness.
