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."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
