For Portuguese society at the time, "Canção de Engate" was revolutionary. It moved away from the heavy, mournful themes of traditional Fado and embraced a new, liberated "pop-rock" identity. It turned the common "hookup" into a poetic, human experience, asserting that finding company for "the end of another day" is a valid and vital part of life. Antonio Variacoes - Cancao Do Engate
