A Salvador singer-songwriter whose Portuguese version of 'Sound of Silence' became his signature.
For a quick frame, listen to that Portuguese 'Sound of Silence' and then something like 'Eu e a Madrugada'. It shows the range from adapted classic to straightforward Brazilian romantic song.
That 2014 Portuguese version of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Sound of Silence' gave him a recognizable song that travels beyond the usual Brazilian romantic music he makes. He's kept at it with albums like 'Clareza' and 'Paraíso', and songs like 'É Impossível Esquecer Um Grande Amor' show he's comfortable in that tradition. It's a specific lane, solo artist with backing musicians, drawing from samba and bossa nova, but with that one folk-rock adaptation that sticks.
He came out of Salvador, Bahia, with his debut 'É Por Você Que Canto' in 2014. Since then he's put out two more albums, 'Clareza' in 2017 and 'Paraíso' in 2021, with songs like 'Meu Pequeno Cachoeiro' fitting the Brazilian romantic mold.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
