Editor's note

Israel Lucero, voice of Corinthians' anthem

The singer behind "Hino do Corinthians" and a catalog of samba-inflected tracks.

Start with "Hino do Corinthians" for the anthem that made him famous, then try "A Carta" for something quieter. That's where you hear the singer behind the stadium voice.

For millions of Corinthians fans, his voice is part of matchday ritual, "Hino do Corinthians" has been played before home games since 1985. Beyond that anthem, songs like "Louca Tentação" and "A Carta" show a broader range, from World Cup tunes to personal storytelling. He kept singing even after a 1986 car accident damaged his vocal cords.

He started in local bars and formed a band in 1983 with keyboardist Osmar Santos and guitarist Luisinho. The football anthem request came in 1985 and became his defining public moment. His original lineup stayed together through early recordings while he continued making music like "Comemorar (Copa do Mundo 2010)" and "Mamãe Solteira."

Archive material and source history

Israel Lucero is best known as the voice behind "Hino do Corinthians," the official anthem of the Corinthians football club in São Paulo. The song came about in 1985 when he was asked to write and perform it, and it stuck, still played before home games. Beyond that anthem, his catalog includes tracks like "Sem Juízo," "168 Horas" with Léo Magalhães, and "60 segundos."

He started performing in local bars, and by 1983 had formed a band with keyboardist Osmar Santos, guitarist Luisinho, bassist Zé Maria, and drummer Serginho. Their sound drew from samba and MPB, but it was the football anthem that defined his public presence. In 1986, he was in a car accident that damaged his vocal cords, but he recovered and kept singing.

His other songs range from the World Cup tune "Comemorar (Copa do Mundo 2010)" to more personal tracks like "A Carta" and "Mamãe Solteira." The band's original lineup stayed together through the early recordings, and while "Hino do Corinthians" remains his signature, those other songs show a broader, if less famous, side of his work.
