A Brazilian singer-songwriter whose 1973 hit 'Retalhos de Cetim' launched a fifty-album career.
For a quick sense of him, put on 'Retalhos de Cetim' and then 'Mulher Brasileira.' That's the core of it.
When Elis Regina, Gal Costa, and Caetano Veloso all record your songs, you're doing something right. 'Retalhos de Cetim' was an immediate hit in 1973, and tracks like 'Ah! Como Eu Amei' and 'Mulher Brasileira' defined his sound. Even a later song like 'Jesus Papai Noel' shows his knack for a memorable melody.
He formed his first band, Os Incríveis, as a teenager in Sete Lagoas. His debut album arrived in 1973, and he kept recording through a 2012 stroke that required rehabilitation. The work never really stopped, spanning more than fifty albums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
