A songwriter whose music draws from traditional rhythms and folklore, with songs that remain familiar across Brazil.
For a sense of his sound, 'Milagre' and 'Foi Por Você' are good places to start. They're straightforward, melodic, and rooted in that Minas Gerais tradition.
His self-titled 1997 debut included 'Fã de São José,' a track that became widely known. Songs like 'Milagre' and 'Médico e Remédio' carry religious themes that have kept his work in circulation. He's one of those regional voices that feels woven into the background of Brazilian music.
He released albums like 'Alma Lavada' in 1999 and 'Raízes' in 2001, working with musicians such as accordionist Chico Lisboa. After a break following a legal dispute in 2010, he returned with 'Recomeçar' in 2013. The songs kept coming, even if the pace shifted.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
