Adão da Viola and Paulo Rolim worked together as a duo in Brazilian music. Adão da Viola was born José Adão Ribeiro and developed his guitar playing in the sertão region of Northeastern Brazil. He and Paulo Rolim began collaborating in the early 1980s.
Their song 'Saudade do Sertão' became well-known, with lyrics that reflected the landscape and experiences of the sertão. Other songs like 'Pai' and 'Chuva de Mulher' also came from their partnership.
They released albums including 'Filhos do Sertão' in 1985, 'Brasil Sertanejo' in 1992, and 'Raízes do Sertão' in 2001. Their music stayed connected to sertão traditions while reaching listeners across Brazil.
