Archive material and source history
Carlos Malta was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1954 and started playing guitar early, drawing from samba and bossa nova traditions. He formed a band under his own name in the early 1970s, and their debut album 'Um Dia de Sol' came out in 1973. That record mixed Brazilian rhythms with rock and pop, which got them some attention nationally.
His song 'I Feel Fine' became particularly well-known. The band's 1976 album 'Alegria, Alegria' had a title track that people heard as a kind of resistance anthem. In 1982, bassist Maurício Maestro died in a car accident, and the group took a break afterward.
Malta worked on his own after that, putting out albums like 'Cartas do Mundo' in 1984 and 'Brasil Brasileiro' in 1986. He recorded with Milton Nascimento and Caetano Veloso at different points. His later records kept coming through the 1990s and 2000s, including 'Alma Boêmia' in 1992 and 'Nação' in 2005.
