A viola player from Northeastern Brazil whose songs map the landscape and people of his region.
For a good sense of his style, try 'Sombra de Dentro' or 'Romance de Flor e Luna'. They have that plainspoken quality he does so well.
His music gives you a clear, unadorned picture of life in the Sertão. Songs like 'Morena' and 'Estiagem' have that straightforward, folk-influenced sound he's known for. It's storytelling that feels grounded in a specific place.
He put out his first album 'No Rastro da Gadaria' in 1995. Later records like 'Viola Quebrada' and 'Pedras e Raízes' kept working with that same direct approach, often collaborating with musicians like Rômulo Almeida.
