Emerson Orofino is a Brazilian musician from São Paulo whose music draws from samba and MPB. His 2012 song 'Faça Valer' became popular across Brazil, with its upbeat rhythm and lyrics about pursuing dreams. That track appears alongside others like 'Aquela do Gato Preto' and 'Baião' in his catalog.
He released albums including 'Iluminar' in 2014 and 'Fé na Luta' in 2018. Orofino has worked with artists such as Jorge Aragão and Ivete Sangalo. His band includes Leandro Barros on guitar, Alexandre Gomes on bass, Douglas Santos on drums, and Wanderley Cruz on keyboards.
In 2015, Orofino faced plagiarism allegations that he denied. His music incorporates elements of rock and electronic sounds alongside Brazilian styles. Songs like 'Certos Dias' and 'Formigas Ou Abutres?' show his range across different moods and tempos.
