Gilberto Barros is best known for the 1994 hit "Fli Flai," a song with a catchy rhythm that became widely popular in Brazil. He had been singing with the band Cia. Treme Terra before going solo. Other songs like "Você Já Abraçou Seu Filho Hoje?" and "Acorrentado Em Você" also appear in his catalog.
His lyrics sometimes drew criticism for being provocative, and his stage presence was described as flamboyant. He released several albums in the 1990s and 2000s, including "Gilberto Barros" in 1996 and "Na Rua" in 1999.
Barros worked with musicians like guitarist Marcelo Costa and bassist Alceu Maia. The details around his personal life and later career are less documented, but "Fli Flai" remains his most recognizable track.
