A singer from Santarém whose music draws on Boi-Bumbá and Carimbó traditions.
For a good sense of his sound, try 'Lida Cabocla' or 'Festança'. They're both straightforward examples of how he works with those regional rhythms.
Fernandes puts the sounds of the Brazilian Amazon into songs that have reached listeners across the country. 'Lida Cabocla' got attention in 2015, and tracks like 'Festança' and 'Querência' keep that regional connection alive. He's also used his platform to talk about the rainforest and indigenous rights, making the music part of a larger conversation.
He grew up in Santarém, Pará, hearing local rhythms that show up in his work. After 'Lida Cabocla' found an audience, he's released albums like 'Amazônia Viva' and 'O Ritmo do Norte' that stay close to those Amazonian roots.
