Editor's note

Jair Naves, the Goiânia songwriter who provoked Brazil

A late-1970s debut with 'Minha Cúmplice, Minha Irmã, Minha Amante' sparked hits and controversy.

For a sense of his style, 'Minha Cúmplice, Minha Irmã, Minha Amante' frames the early work, and 'Covil de Cobras' points to where he went later.

Naves wrote plainly about relationships and social pressures in a way that got under people's skin. His 1979 debut album, named for the hit 'Minha Cúmplice, Minha Irmã, Minha Amante,' drew criticism from conservative groups for its provocative lyrics. Later tracks like 'Covil de Cobras' show him shifting toward rock and experimental sounds, but that directness never faded.

He came up in Goiânia in the late 1970s and kept recording through the 1980s and 1990s with albums like 'Coração Brasileiro' and 'Transas.' Over twenty albums followed, including later ones like 'Eletroacústico' and 'Fênix' into the 2000s.
