A Brazilian singer whose melancholic hits explore faith and personal struggle.
For his sound, start with 'Amanhã a Deus Pertence.' For his themes, try 'O Criador.'
In 1993, 'Amanhã a Deus Pertence' became a hit across Brazil, a melancholic ballad that established his voice. His songs like 'O Criador' and 'Louco Por Deus' keep returning to spiritual themes, while 'Na Contra Mão do Mundo' suggests a more defiant side. He's from Salvador, Bahia, and that city's rhythms run through his work.
He started singing in church choirs and local bands in Salvador. The 1993 hit 'Amanhã a Deus Pertence' launched his career, and later albums like Do Lado de Dentro and Muleque Brasileiro touched on his Afro-Brazilian roots. More recently, 2015's Discobiografia addressed some personal struggles.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
