A São Paulo singer whose gentle songs have soundtracked decades of Brazilian life.
For the classic Fábio Jr. sound, 'Rio e Canoa' is the place. 'Desejos e Delírios' shows that same easy, lived-in quality.
His songs became part of the furniture in Brazilian homes. 'Rio e Canoa' is one of those tunes people just know, a quiet anthem about rivers and canoes that feels like it's always been there. He worked with people like Sergio Hinds and even Bonnie Tyler on 'Sem Limites Pra Sonhar,' but never lost that unshowy, reliable quality.
He started in a band called Os Inseparáveis in the late 1970s before going solo in 1980. Since then he's put out dozens of albums, with songs like 'Pai' and 'Impossível Acreditar Que Perdi Você' settling into the Brazilian romantic songbook. He's kept recording and playing, without much fuss.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
