Daniel Blower

Daniel Blower came up in Penha, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. He sang with a band called Daniel Blower e os Cachorros Misturados, which played a mix of funk, samba, and soul. His first album was called 'Chama a Márcia' and had the title track that became well-known. Later records included 'Eu Vou Rolar' and 'Samba Pro Coração'.

Some of his songs, like 'Caminhos' and 'Só Quero Você', have a straightforward, melodic feel. He also recorded 'Pode Parar' and 'Beijo'. The music often had a light, rhythmic touch, not trying to be too complicated.

He worked with other musicians, including Gilberto Gil and Carlinhos Brown. The band's sound was built around Brazilian rhythms, but it wasn't strictly traditional. They kept things fairly simple and direct.
