Quim Barreiros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quim Barreiros is a Portuguese pimba music writer and singer. He was born June 19, 1947, in Vila Praia de Âncora, in the North of Portugal. A Garagem da Vizinha is one of his big hits. His most recent album is "Use Álcool" (Use Alcohol).

He started his career before Emanuel, being one of the first, if not the actual first, documented case of Pimba. In most of his songs, Barreiros makes extensive use of ambiguous words, often with obvious sexual suggestions. One of Quim Barreiros' biggest hits was "A Garagem da Vizinha" (The [Female] Neighbour's Garage), which is a metaphor for the female genitalia, but he is also known for hits such as "Mariazinha", where he asks a woman named Mariazinha to let him smell her "codfish".
