A Rio de Janeiro performer whose acoustic songs about love and longing found a national audience.
For a good sense of his style, try 'Como Vou Deixar Você?' or the later 'Saudade'. They're both straightforward about feeling, which is where he lives.
Diau's music has that direct, unpolished quality that comes from starting in the streets. Songs like 'Como Vou Deixar Você?' and 'Só Tenho Olhos Pra Você' are built around simple, emotional themes that connect without much fuss. He's kept that approach even as he's moved from his debut 'Sem Destino' to later samba-influenced work like 'Samba de Boteco'.
He began playing with friends on the streets of Rio. The 2005 album 'Nosso Amor' gave him a hit with its title track, and he's since recorded everything from the stripped-down 'Acústico' to more band-oriented material with guitarist Marcelo Rosa and others.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
