Ismael Santos was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1958. He started singing in local bars and clubs, working with samba and MPB styles before his 1985 single 'Exemplo de Homem' brought him wider attention.
His songs like 'Ainda Estou de Pé' and 'Chega de Sofrer' often dealt with personal themes that connected with listeners. He released albums including 'Somente Ismael' in 1986 and 'Alma Crua' in 1989.
Santos's career included both musical recognition and personal difficulties that sometimes became public. His voice and songs like 'Curador De Feridas' and 'Avisa a Ambev' remained part of Brazilian music through various phases.
