Não Há Gente Como A Gente (There Aren't Any People Like Us) is the title of the tenth studio album by Portuguese American singer/songwriter Jorge Ferreira, released in 1988 on Henda Records & Videos in America and Movieplay Portuguesa in Portugal.
The title of this album comes from a fan’s sentence immigrated in Venezuela who, after a show, embraced Ferreira, and touched exclaimed : “NÃO HÁ GENTE COMO A GENTE !” This album was an unbelievable success with his hit songs “Bacalhau”, “Ao Calor Do Sol”, the Spanish songs “25 Rosas” and “Carro Negro” (the “Black Car” in Spanish) and “Carro Branco” (White Car), the continuation of the “Black Car” with a contrary story. For the recording of this album, Ferreira built a recording studio in the basement of his new residence of Westport, Massachusetts, that he moved in this year. Later, he will name his studio "City Limit Track". This album also marked the following separation of Ferreira's composed orchestras. After this work, Ferreira travelled around the world, performing in 16 to 20 countries in one year, remaining half the year out of the US… The song “Não Há Gente Como A Gente”, that was a hit in Portugal[1], is a dedication to all Portugueses immigrated around the world.
