Álvaro Costa: «I tried to 'Portugalize' all that Anglo-Saxon culture»

Now11 September 2026 at 01:05

Álvaro Costa described his professional experience in London during the late 1980s, a period he considered significant in his career. During that time, he worked at Music Box and at the Portuguese language service of the BBC World Service, where he had the opportunity to devote himself to what he described as an effort to "Portugalize" Anglo-Saxon culture.

During his work at the BBC, Costa associated with historical names in Portuguese journalism, which allowed him to establish significant contacts with reference professionals in the Portuguese-language media.

Beyond his journalistic work, Álvaro Costa closely followed crucial moments in British history and music during his stay in London, which enriched his cultural and professional experience during that period.

This reflection from Costa arises in the context of a career that spanned various areas of the media, from radio to television, with emphasis on his international work in the British capital during the late 1980s period.
