A key figure in Brazilian rock, from the band's social anthems to his own reflective songs.
For a sense of his range, listen to Legião Urbana's 'Que País É Este' alongside his own 'O Colapso'. They show the shift from collective urgency to quieter, individual reflection.
As the guitarist for Legião Urbana, he helped shape the sound of albums like 'Dois' and 'Que País É Este' during Brazil's social shifts in the 1980s. His solo work, including songs like 'Sonho de Menino', turned inward with a more personal touch. He's kept that connection alive through tribute shows and steady recording, like on 'Jardim de Cactus' in 2015.
He started with Legião Urbana in the mid-1980s, playing on their defining records until the band ended in 1996. After that, he moved into solo albums, beginning with his self-titled release in 2003 and continuing through projects like 'O Som do Vento' in 2006. In 2019, he returned to the band's music for tribute performances with Marcelo Bonfá.
