A Minas Gerais singer whose folk and sertanejo songs feel lived-in.
For a good sense of his style, try 'Caminho Das Tropas' or 'Que Saudade da Minha Terra!', they frame that mix of folk storytelling and sertanejo rhythm pretty clearly.
He comes from Santo Antônio do Monte, and his music pulls straight from Brazilian folk and sertanejo traditions. You hear it in tracks like 'As Razões do Matuto' and 'Meu Cavalo Ventania', which have that grounded, rural feel. He's also worked with names like Gilberto Gil and Zé Ramalho, which says something about where his sound sits.
His debut album 'Nossa Senhora Dos Campeiros' came out in 2010, with the title track getting some early attention. Since then, he's put out records like 'A Estrada É Longa' in 2012 and 'Sertão Mais Profundo' in 2018, playing festivals around Brazil with a band that includes Rafael Mendes on guitar and Léo Léo on accordion.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
