A Brazilian songwriter from Crato who blends forró, xote, and baião with rock and folk.
For a sense of his approach, try 'A Peleja do Sertão Preocupado' or 'Meu Compromisso É Com Deus'. They give you the landscape and the concerns without much polish.
Ramos writes about the sertão's landscape and social concerns without smoothing out the region's traditional rhythms. Songs like 'Meu Compromisso É Com Deus' and 'Na Terra dos Escorpiões' reflect that connection. He performs with a band that includes accordion and zabumba, keeping the sound rooted even as it reaches listeners outside the Northeast.
He grew up in Crato, Ceará, absorbing forró, xote, and baião, influenced by Luiz Gonzaga and Dominguinhos. His first album, 'A Peleja do Sertão Preocupado (Peço aos Camaleões que Escutem Essa Gente)', came out in 2017. Since then he's released four albums, including 'O Canto da Terra' in 2019 and 'O Som da Resistência' in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
