Background notes
Archive material and source history
Alexandre Sankor was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1971. He grew up around samba and bossa nova, and started playing guitar early. In 1998 he wrote 'Todo Dia É Natal,' which began as a Christmas carol but caught on year-round. The song's simple message about finding joy in ordinary days connected with people in Brazil and beyond.
That song became his signature, but he kept writing others like 'Tem paciência' and 'Ele Nunca Te Esqueceu.' He released albums including 'Todo Dia É Natal' in 1998, 'Samba de Todo Dia' in 2001, and 'Sankorar' in 2010. He has worked with musicians like Gal Costa and Gilberto Gil, and sometimes performs with a changing group of players on guitar, bass, and percussion.
In 2000, some listeners thought the melody of 'Todo Dia É Natal' resembled a traditional African folk song, though nothing was proven. Sankor has also spoken about social issues in ways that have drawn both support and criticism. He continues to write and perform, drawing on Brazilian rhythms and his own outlook.
