No centro desta missão está o carismático apresentador Rómulo Ávila, cuja empatia natural e capacidade de escuta criam um espaço seguro onde cada convidado pode abrir o coração, desvendar memórias e inspirar gerações futuras com o seu percurso singular.
Na décima nona emissão da segunda temporada, o programa alcança um patamar de profunda emoção ao receber a talentosa e inspiradora Yosy Pinto. Desde o primeiro instante em estúdio, a presença de Yosy Pinto é sinónimo de alegria contagiante, energia vibrante e uma honestidade desarmante. Nascida num contexto de rica herança cultural fora de portas, esta jovem luso-descendente carrega consigo o peso histórico, as saudades e a garra de uma comunidade que nunca esquece as suas origens, quer esteja a viver na Venezuela, na Ilha da Madeira ou em qualquer outra geografia global.
Através de uma narrativa fluida e intimista, o episódio explora os contrastes entre a infância passada em solo venezuelano e a consolidação da sua vida adulta num dos cenários mais deslumbrantes do planeta. A participação de Yosy Pinto neste formato não se resume a uma mera entrevista promocional; trata-se de um verdadeiro documento antropológico e emocional sobre o que significa ser imigrante, sobre a forma como a música cura feridas e sobre a coragem necessária para transformar os sonhos mais recônditos em realidades concretas e bem-sucedidas.
As Raízes Profundas na Venezuela e o Papel Vital do Associativismo
Para compreender verdadeiramente quem é Yosy Pinto, é imperativo recuar no tempo até aos dias vividos na Venezuela. Historicamente, a comunidade portuguesa naquele país sul-americano construiu uma rede de apoio impressionante, baseada no trabalho árduo, na união e na preservação intransigente dos costumes tradicionais. Yosy Pinto recorda essa fase da sua infância com um misto de saudade e serenidade, sublinhando que, apesar das complexidades inerentes ao contexto socioeconómico e político do país, a sua infância foi pautada por uma enorme tranquilidade familiar e comunitária.
Um dos pilares fundamentais dessa vivência diária eram os centros culturais e recreativos criados pela própria comunidade. Espaços emblemáticos como o Centro Português de Caracas e a Casa Portuguesa de Maracay funcionavam como verdadeiras extensões de Portugal em solo estrangeiro. Era nesses locais de convívio que se celebravam as festas populares, se saboreava a gastronomia típica e se ensinava aos mais novos o orgulho de pertencer à nação lusa. Yosy Pinto esteve intimamente ligada a esta dinâmica desde tenra idade, chegando inclusivamente a integrar o quadro de rainhas para representar a mulher portuguesa em eventos oficiais na Venezuela, um testemunho claro do seu envolvimento precoce com a identidade cultural.
Nota de Destaque: O associativismo português na Venezuela desempenhou um papel histórico incalculável, garantindo que gerações inteiras de luso-descendentes mantivessem viva a língua, a música e os valores de Portugal, mesmo a milhares de quilómetros de distância.
Contudo, a história familiar de Yosy Pinto traz também consigo marcas de profunda sensibilidade emocional. A perda precoce do pai, quando era ainda uma criança, representou um momento de enorme dor. No entanto, a memória paterna nunca se apagou; pelo contrário, transformou-se numa força motriz. O pai de Yosy Pinto era um apaixonado pela música e pelo acordeão, transmitindo organicamente esse dom e esse ouvido musical aos filhos. Hoje, Yosy Pinto recorda-o com uma ternura infinita, considerando-o o seu anjo guardião e o verdadeiro mentor invisível que a guia em cada passo que dá em cima dos palcos do mundo.
A Transição Luminosa para a Ilha da Madeira: O Cantinho do Céu
A vida de Yosy Pinto deu uma reviravolta maravilhosa quando se concretizou o seu regresso definitivo e a fixação na Ilha da Madeira, um território que descreve, sem hesitações, como um verdadeiro “cantinho do céu”. Há cerca de três anos a residir na pérola do Atlântico, Yosy Pinto encontrou nesse cenário paradisíaco a paz, a estabilidade e a harmonia perfeitas para consolidar tanto a sua vida pessoal quanto o seu percurso profissional e artístico.
A adaptação à Ilha da Madeira foi imediata e profundamente natural, impulsionada pelo calor humano dos madeirenses e pela beleza paisagística ímpar que caracteriza a região. Para além da sua faceta artística, Yosy Pinto gere com enorme dedicação o seu próprio espaço comercial ligado à área da estética e do bem-estar. Este gabinete especializado em tratamentos faciais, depilação a laser e cuidados de pele funciona, nas suas próprias palavras, como a sua segunda casa — um ambiente tranquilo, focado no detalhe e na criatividade, que contrasta harmoniosamente com a adrenalina dos espectáculos ao vivo.
No plano afetivo, a felicidade completa-se ao lado do marido, a quem carinhosamente atribui o título informal de “melhor cozinheiro do mundo”, garantindo entre risos que faz questão de o elogiar diariamente para assegurar refeições deliciosas. É esta simbiose perfeita entre a serenidade do quotidiano madeirense, o sucesso empresarial no setor da estética e o amor familiar que confere a Yosy Pinto o equilíbrio necessário para enfrentar os desafios exigentes de uma carreira pública em crescimento constante.
O Despertar da Vocação Artística e o Salto para os Palcos
A música sempre correu nas veias de Yosy Pinto, alimentada pelo legado do pai e pelas memórias musicais cultivadas nos centros portugueses na Venezuela. Contudo, o momento de viragem que transformou uma jovem apaixonada por sonoridades tradicionais numa artista profissional aconteceu graças a um encontro providencial com o reconhecido cantor Marcos Machado. Conhecido pela sua versatilidade e talento na interpretação de temas de cariz português, Marcos Machado reconheceu de imediato o potencial vocal e a carisma inegável de Yosy Pinto.
Foi através dessa colaboração inspiradora que surgiu o primeiro single a solo de Yosy Pinto, intitulado “Bailar Comigo”. A artista recorda com lágrimas de emoção o momento exato em que recebeu o tema gravado, confessando que custava a acreditar que o sonho acalentado durante anos se estava finalmente a materializar. A gravação do tema na cidade do Porto marcou o início oficial de uma carreira discográfica que rapidamente ganhou tração, permitindo-lhe levar a sua voz e a sua alegria contagiante a comunidades portuguesas dispersas por várias geografias internacionais, com destaque para passagens inesquecíveis pelo Canadá e pela vibrante comunidade cubana.
Subir ao palco é, para Yosy Pinto, uma experiência catártica. Embora admita que os nervos e a ansiedade pré-concerto fazem parte da rotina de qualquer artista genuíno, a verdade é que, no preciso momento em que as luzes se acendem e a música começa, toda essa tensão se dissipa, dando lugar a uma conexão mágica com o público. O carinho genuíno das pessoas no final de cada atuação — consubstanciado em abraços, palavras de incentivo e sorrisos calorosos — constitui a recompensa mais preciosa e a confirmação inequívoca de que está a seguir o caminho certo.
Humanidade e Resiliência: Cantar com o Coração Dividido
Um dos aspetos mais marcantes e tocantes da entrevista conduzida por Rómulo Ávila no programa Sentir Pensar E Agir reside na capacidade de Yosy Pinto abordar temas de profunda dor humana com uma maturidade e uma resiliência impressionantes. Convidada a refletir sobre a atualidade política e social da Venezuela, Yosy Pinto não esconde a angústia sentida perante as dificuldades extremas que afetam milhares de cidadãos, incluindo amigos e familiares que continuam a enfrentar privações severas no país sul-americano.
A artista partilha com os espectadores a enorme complexidade emocional inerente à profissão de artista em momentos de crise global ou pessoal. Houve ocasiões em que, mesmo com o coração apertado pela dor e pelas notícias desoladoras vindas da Venezuela, teve de subir a um palco, colocar um sorriso no rosto e animar centenas de espetadores que esperavam um espetáculo de excelência. Com uma honestidade comovente, Yosy Pinto explica que o público presente nos espetáculos não tem culpa das adversidades externas, exigindo-se ao intérprete o dever profissional e humano de entregar o seu melhor, transformando temporariamente a própria tristeza em energia positiva para os outros.
Para mitigar o sofrimento coletivo, Yosy Pinto e outros intervenientes culturais procuram sempre canalizar esforços solidários, promovendo campanhas de sensibilização ou dedicando momentos de silêncio e reflexão durante os concertos. Esta dualidade entre a festa comunitária e a solidariedade profunda evidencia a grandeza moral de Yosy Pinto, provando que a verdadeira arte nasce da capacidade de sentir a dor do outro e de agir em prol de um mundo mais justo e humano.
Bastidores, Rituais e a Paz Encontrada na Natureza
Por trás dos holofotes, dos vestidos cintilantes e dos ritmos vibrantes da música tradicional e latina, Yosy Pinto mantém uma simplicidade cativante. A preparação para cada concerto obedece a rituais estritos que garantem o equilíbrio físico e mental. Entre os cuidados vocais orientados por profissionais de excelência na Madeira, como a consagrada cantora Cristina Barbosa, e os exercícios de respiração e alongamento corporal, destaca-se um momento particularmente íntimo e espiritual: a oração partilhada em equipa.
Antes de pisar o palco, Yosy Pinto reúne-se com as suas bailarinas para rezar um Pai Nosso e uma Avé Maria, num abraço coletivo de cumplicidade e proteção mútua. Esta união espiritual reforça a coesão do grupo e transmite a tranquilidade necessária para que o espetáculo decorra com perfeição. Fora dos palcos, a busca pela paz interior faz-se através de pequenos prazeres quotidianos, como longas caminhadas à beira-mar na Ilha da Madeira com os auriculares postos, ouvindo música relaxante, ou simplesmente descansando no sofá em companhia da sua adorada cadelinha de estimação, a Lupita, a quem dedica demonstrações diárias de amor puro e incondicional.
venezolano Roots and the Strength of Community Ties
The foundational chapters of Yosy Pinto’s life unfolded in Venezuela, a country that has historically embraced generations of Portuguese immigrants with open arms. In this rich cultural environment, Yosy Pinto experienced a peaceful childhood deeply intertwined with community traditions. Portuguese social clubs, such as the Centro Português de Caracas and the Casa Portuguesa de Maracay, served as vital cultural anchors where families gathered to celebrate their heritage, language, and culinary traditions.
Music was an ever-present element in her household, largely inspired by her late father, an accordion player whose musical spirit left an indelible mark on his children. Today, Yosy Pinto honors his memory with deep emotion, viewing him as her guardian angel and the primary source of her artistic inspiration. This strong connection to her roots provided her with the emotional foundation needed to navigate life’s later shifts with grace and determination.
Embracing Madeira Island as a Sanctuary of Peace
Relocating to Madeira Island marked a magnificent turning point in the personal and professional trajectory of Yosy Pinto. Describing the island as a true corner of heaven, she has spent the last three years building a life characterized by tranquility, professional fulfillment, and creative expression. Alongside managing her successful aesthetic and wellness studio—which serves as her second home and a peaceful sanctuary—she shares a wonderful life with her husband.
This balanced lifestyle allows her to dedicate herself fully to her true artistic calling: performing on stage. Encouraged by fellow artist Marcos Machado, who presented her with her debut solo single “Bailar Comigo,” Yosy Pinto turned lifelong aspirations into tangible success. Her musical journey has since taken her across international borders, allowing her to share the vibrant energy of Portuguese music with enthusiastic audiences in Canada, Cuba, and beyond.
Human Resilience: Balancing Personal Sorrow with Public Joy
A particularly poignant moment in the conversation hosted by Rómulo Ávila occurs when Yosy Pinto addresses the complex and heartbreaking socio-economic challenges currently impacting Venezuela. With remarkable emotional maturity, she discusses the immense difficulty faced by performers who must step onto a stage, smile, and entertain audiences while carrying heavy grief in their hearts for loved ones experiencing hardship back home.
Rather than letting sorrow overshadow her mission, Yosy Pinto channels her empathy into solidarity, often dedicating moments of her shows to raising awareness and supporting humanitarian causes. This ability to transform personal pain into collective joy highlights her extraordinary character and unwavering strength of spirit, reinforcing the core values promoted by Sentir Pensar E Agir.

Yosy Pinto: Music, Venezuela, and Madeiran Roots | Sentir Pensar E Agir S02E19
An in-depth exploration of life history, immigrant community resilience, and passion for traditional Portuguese music through an unforgettable conversation with guest Yosy Pinto, hosted by Rómulo Ávila.
Exclusive Introduction: The Brilliance of Yosy Pinto on CamõesTV+
The global media landscape dedicated to the Portuguese diaspora finds an essential pillar of cultural appreciation, identity, and human sharing in the acclaimed show Sentir Pensar E Agir. Streamed exclusively on the Sentir Pensar E Agir category of CamõesTV+, this video podcast has captured the hearts of thousands of viewers scattered across the four corners of the world. At the heart of this mission is the charismatic host Rómulo Ávila, whose natural empathy and deep listening capacity create a safe space where each guest can open their heart, unveil cherished memories, and inspire future generations with their singular life journey.
In the nineteenth emission of the second season, the program reaches a new pinnacle of deep emotion by welcoming the talented and inspiring Yosy Pinto. From the very first moment in the studio, the presence of Yosy Pinto is synonymous with contagious joy, vibrant energy, and disarming honesty. Born into a rich cultural heritage outside of Portugal’s borders, this young Portuguese-descendant carries the historical weight, nostalgia, and tenacity of a community that never forgets its origins, whether living in Venezuela, Madeira Island, or any other global geography.
Through a fluid and intimate narrative, the episode explores the contrasts between a childhood spent on Venezuelan soil and the consolidation of adult life within one of the most breathtaking landscapes on the planet. The participation of Yosy Pinto in this format goes far beyond a routine promotional interview; it serves as a genuine anthropological and emotional document on what it means to be an immigrant, how music heals hidden wounds, and the courage required to turn the most profound dreams into concrete, successful realities.
Deep Roots in Venezuela and the Vital Role of Community Associationism
To truly understand who Yosy Pinto is, one must look back in time to the days lived in Venezuela. Historically, the Portuguese community in that South American nation built an impressive support network rooted in hard work, unity, and the uncompromising preservation of traditional customs. Yosy Pinto recalls that phase of her childhood with a mix of longing and serenity, emphasizing that despite the complex socio-economic and political context of the country, her upbringing was anchored by immense family and community tranquility.
One of the fundamental pillars of that daily existence was the network of cultural and recreational centers created by the community itself. Iconic spaces such as the Centro Português de Caracas and the Casa Portuguesa de Maracay functioned as true extensions of Portugal on foreign soil. Within these gathering spaces, traditional festivities were celebrated, typical gastronomy was savored, and younger generations were taught the enduring pride of belonging to the Portuguese nation. Yosy Pinto was intimately connected to this dynamic from an early age, even serving in queen pageants to represent Portuguese women at official events in Venezuela—a clear testament to her early immersion in cultural identity.
Key Highlight: Portuguese associationism in Venezuela played an incalculable historical role, ensuring that entire generations of Portuguese-descendants kept the language, music, and values of Portugal alive, even thousands of miles away from the homeland.
However, the family history of Yosy Pinto also carries marks of profound emotional sensitivity. The premature loss of her father during her childhood represented a moment of intense sorrow. Yet, his memory never faded; instead, it transformed into a powerful driving force. Yosy Pinto’s father was deeply passionate about music and the accordion, organically passing that innate musical ear and talent to his children. Today, Yosy Pinto remembers him with infinite tenderness, viewing him as her guardian angel and the true invisible mentor guiding her every step across stages worldwide.
The Luminous Transition to Madeira Island: A Corner of Heaven
The life of Yosy Pinto took a wonderful turn when she finalized her permanent return and relocation to Madeira Island, a territory she describes without hesitation as a true “corner of heaven.” Residing for the past three years in this Atlantic pearl, Yosy Pinto found the perfect peace, stability, and harmony in this paradisiacal setting to consolidate both her personal life and her professional and artistic journey.
Adaptation to Madeira Island was immediate and deeply natural, driven by the warm hospitality of the Madeirans and the unique scenic beauty characterizing the region. Beyond her artistic endeavors, Yosy Pinto manages her own business venture dedicated to aesthetics and wellness with immense dedication. This specialized studio focusing on facial treatments, laser hair removal, and skin care functions, in her own words, as her second home—a tranquil environment focused on detail and creativity that contrasts harmoniously with the high adrenaline of live performances.
On a personal level, her happiness is complete alongside her husband, whom she affectionately dubs the “best chef in the world,” joking that she makes sure to praise him daily to secure delicious meals. It is this perfect symbiosis between the serenity of everyday Madeiran life, entrepreneurial success in the aesthetics sector, and family love that grants Yosy Pinto the necessary balance to face the demanding challenges of a steadily growing public career.
The Awakening of Artistic Vocation and the Leap to the Stage
Music has always coursed through the veins of Yosy Pinto, fueled by her father’s legacy and musical memories nurtured within Portuguese centers in Venezuela. However, the turning point transforming a young girl passionate about traditional sounds into a professional artist came through a providential encounter with renowned singer Marcos Machado. Known for his versatility and talent in interpreting traditional Portuguese themes, Marcos Machado immediately recognized the vocal potential and undeniable charisma of Yosy Pinto.
It was through this inspiring collaboration that Yosy Pinto released her very first solo single, titled “Bailar Comigo.” The artist recalls with tears of emotion the exact moment she received the recorded track, confessing that she could scarcely believe a childhood dream cherished for years was finally materializing. Recording the song in the city of Porto marked the official beginning of a recording career that rapidly gained momentum, allowing her to bring her voice and contagious joy to Portuguese communities scattered across international geographies, most notably unforgettable performances in Canada and the vibrant Cuban community.
Stepping onto the stage is, for Yosy Pinto, a cathartic experience. Although she admits pre-show nerves and anxiety are part of any genuine artist’s routine, the truth is that the moment the lights go up and the music begins, all tension dissolves, paving the way for a magical connection with the audience. The genuine affection from people at the end of every performance—manifested in hugs, encouraging words, and warm smiles—serves as the most precious reward and unequivocal confirmation that she is on the right path.
Humanity and Resilience: Singing with a Divided Heart
One of the most striking and touching aspects of the interview conducted by Rómulo Ávila on the program Sentir Pensar E Agir lies in Yosy Pinto’s capacity to address themes of profound human sorrow with impressive maturity and resilience. Invited to reflect on the current political and social situation in Venezuela, Yosy Pinto does not hide the anguish felt regarding extreme hardships affecting thousands of citizens, including friends and family members still facing severe deprivation in the South American country.
The artist shares with viewers the enormous emotional complexity inherent to the performing arts during times of global or personal crisis. There have been occasions when, despite having a heart heavy with grief and devastating news from Venezuela, she had to step onto a stage, put on a smile, and entertain hundreds of spectators expecting an exceptional show. With moving honesty, Yosy Pinto explains that the audience present at performances bears no blame for external hardships, requiring performers to fulfill their professional and human duty to deliver their best, temporarily transforming their own sadness into positive energy for others.
To alleviate collective suffering, Yosy Pinto and other cultural peers always seek to channel supportive efforts, promoting awareness campaigns or dedicating moments of silence and reflection during concerts. This duality between community celebration and profound solidarity highlights Yosy Pinto’s moral greatness, proving true art stems from the capacity to feel another’s pain and act toward building a more just and humane world.
Backstage Rituals, Preparation, and Peace Found in Nature
Behind the spotlights, glittering outfits, and vibrant rhythms of traditional and Latin music, Yosy Pinto maintains a captivating simplicity. Preparation for each concert follows strict routines ensuring physical and mental balance. Alongside vocal care guided by exceptional professionals in Madeira, such as acclaimed singer Cristina Barbosa, and body stretching exercises, a particularly intimate and spiritual moment stands out: team prayer.
Before stepping onto the stage, Yosy Pinto gathers with her backup dancers to recite the Lord’s Prayer and the Hail Mary in a collective embrace of complicity and mutual protection. This spiritual unity reinforces group cohesion and provides the necessary calm for flawless performances. Offstage, the pursuit of inner peace is found through simple daily pleasures, such as long walks by the sea in Madeira with headphones playing relaxing music, or simply resting on the couch in the company of her beloved pet dog, Lupita, to whom she dedicates daily displays of pure, unconditional love.
