A musician whose work draws from Brazilian traditions with songs that reference cultural and spiritual elements.
For a quick sense of his style, try 'Oxóssi, o Caçador' or that wonderfully long-titled track about the excommunicated guy. They give you the flavor without needing translation.
Vianna's music feels rooted in something specific to Brazil, not just generic world music. Songs like 'Oxóssi, o Caçador' and 'Carukango' have titles that point directly to cultural and spiritual touchstones. He's built a catalog where even the song names tell you where he's coming from.
He released his debut album 'The Fourth Seal' in 2007, which got some attention locally. That was followed by 'Caldo Sou' in 2010 and 'Prognosis' in 2014. He's worked with players like bassist Leonardo Reis and drummer Edu Guimarães along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
