Carlinhos Medeiros was born in 1942 in Cabedelo, Paraíba, a coastal city in northeastern Brazil. He grew up hearing the traditional forró and samba sounds of the region, which would later shape his own music.
His 1982 album 'Arribação' featured the title track that became one of his most recognized songs. Other tracks like 'Bate Papo Com Siri' and 'Estrela da Manhã' show his connection to the rhythms and themes of his home region.
Medeiros has recorded for decades, with albums like 'Cheiro do Mato' in 1986 and 'O Canto da Sereia' in 1992. His lyrics often touch on love, loss, and social observations, staying grounded in the musical traditions he absorbed early on.
