A Brazilian musician who mixed forró with rock and soul on hits like 'Cavalgada'.
For a quick sense of his sound, 'Cavalgada' is the one. 'Estou voltando' has that same driving rhythm he was known for.
His 1971 debut album 'Cavalgada' gave him a hit that blended forró with rock and soul, a sound that stuck around in Brazil for years. Songs like 'Estou voltando' and 'Casamento de Rosa' show his knack for catchy, rhythm-driven tunes. He worked with big names like Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, but kept his own earthy style.
He started with his brothers in Édgar e a Bateria in 1966, playing traditional forró and baião. After 'Cavalgada' took off, he kept recording through the '70s with albums like 'Vai Que Vai' and later collaborations. He put out over thirty studio albums before his death.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
