Cantigas do Maio is the fifth studio album by Portuguese singer-songwriter José Afonso. It was released in December 1971 by the Portuguese label Orfeu. The album is widely considered the best of Afonso's career and one of the all-time greatest albums of Portuguese music. It contains Afonso's most iconic song, "Grândola, Vila Morena", which was used as a radio-broadcast signal by the Portuguese Armed Forces Movement during their military coup operation on the morning of 25 April 1974, which led to the Carnation Revolution and the transition to democracy in Portugal.
