Aylton Barros

Aylton Barros is a Brazilian singer and songwriter who started making music in the 1980s. His song 'A Arca de Noé' became widely known, drawing from the biblical story of Noah's Ark. He worked with a band that included musicians like guitarist Ricardo Freire and drummer Cláudio Pimentel.

They released several albums in the mid-to-late 1980s, mostly continuing the 'A Arca de Noé' theme across multiple records. Another song people remember is 'Coração de Menino.' Barros's music often carried Christian themes, which sometimes drew criticism from those who felt it wasn't religious enough.

He kept making music with his band despite that, focusing on messages about faith and hope. The records from that period suggest he found an audience that connected with those ideas.
