Background notes
Archive material and source history
Carlos Mascarenhas came from Salvador, Bahia, where Afro-Brazilian rhythms and Portuguese fado both shaped his sound. He wasn't interested in formulaic pop, and his approach sometimes drew criticism from those who preferred more mainstream music.
His 1983 album 'Íbis' gave him his signature song of the same name. He also released 'Pérolas e Lágrimas' in 1980 and 'Canto do Pássaro' in 1986. While often seen as a solo artist, he worked with musicians like percussionist Naná Vasconcelos and guitarist Baden Powell.
