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, Nascimento entered the Portuguese Eurovision selection contest, the Festival da Canção, as a solo artist with the song “O vento mudou” (“The Wind Changed”). He won the event by a comfortable margin, and went forward to represent Portugal in the 12th Eurovision Song Contest, held on April 8 in Vienna, where “O vento mudou” finished in joint 12th place of the 17 entries.

Nascimento is notable for being the first black male performer at Eurovision, the year after Milly Scott from the Netherlands became the first black female to sing.

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.

Early Life: Jake, the son of actor Gary Busey, was born in Los Angeles, California on June 15, 1971. He grew up in Malibu spending his childhood on film sets and touring with bands in which his father played. Even though he made his film debut at the age of five in Straight Time (1978), along with his father and Dustin Hoffman, Busey did not take acting seriously as a profession at the time. It was when he start taking drama classes “on a whim” while attending Santa Barbara College that he began favoring the idea of becoming an actor himself. But it took him three years to finally make his career breakthrough in the early 90’s. After his slow kick off, Busey worked steadily over the decade, making minor appearances in high profile studio movies, like I’ll Do Anything (1994) and Twister (1996), as well as playing more substantial parts in smaller films, such as S.F.W.

Tough Times: With the 2008 financial crisis and a career hitting the skids, Jake got to a very low point personally and professionally. At one point he lost so much that he lived a period out of his car in 2011. He would later credit director/producer Robert Rodriguez (and quitting drinking) for helping get his career back on track with the series From Dusk Till Dawn. That led to more steady work recently in shows like Stranger Things, Ray Donovan and Mr. Robot.  In 2018 he starred in the film reboot The Predator. Personal Life: As for his off-screen time, Busey spends it playing drums and singing in the Los Angeles-based band, Sons of the Lawless. He is also a licensed pilot.
