Nininho Vaz Maia (born Avelino Vaz Maia in 1988) is a Portuguese singer and songwriter from Lisbon, where he grew up in the working-class neighbourhoods of Olaias and Picheleira. His music grows out of the traditions of Portugal's Roma community, blending heartfelt pop melodies with the passion and rhythm of flamenco.
He first found an audience in 2013, when a home video of him singing spread across YouTube, and he went on to release popular tracks such as "Cola-te a Mim" and "Soy Gitano". "Gosto De Ti" belongs to his 2021 debut album Raízes ("Roots"), a tribute to his heritage and family. Today he is one of Portugal's most-streamed artists, loved for his emotional voice and his warm, deeply personal songs.
