Afonso Nigro

Afonso Nigro is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from São Paulo who began gaining attention around 2016. That year he released his debut album 'Valsa Pra Dois' and the single 'Talvez Seja Amor,' which became one of his most recognizable songs.

His music tends toward introspective lyrics and acoustic arrangements, with songs like 'Brilho No Olhar' and 'Fica Comigo' showing his preference for emotional, personal themes. He's mentioned Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Caetano Veloso as influences.

In 2018, some listeners criticized the language in his song 'Mulheres' as potentially misogynistic, though Nigro defended it as artistic expression. He continued releasing albums including 'Faroeste Caboclo' in 2019 and 'Arte Moderna' in 2021.
