Background notes
Archive material and source history
José Carlos Salles came from Ibiraci, a small town in Brazil, and later connected with Novo Horizonte in São Paulo state. He started writing songs in the early 1970s, drawing on folk traditions and Brazilian popular music. His song 'Rio Tietê' came out around 1974 and became known for addressing the river's pollution, which resonated with listeners during a period of military rule when such topics were sensitive.
Salles kept recording through the 1970s and 1980s, putting out albums like 'Homem de Estrada' in 1979 and 'Novo Horizonte' in 1982. He worked with musicians including guitarist Guilherme Dias, drummer Edmilson Capelari, and bassist Fernando Lima.
His music often touched on social themes and regional life, with 'Rio Tietê, Novo Horizonte-Sp' reflecting his ties to that area. Over time, his work found recognition in Brazilian music circles, and he collaborated with artists like Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, and Caetano Veloso on various projects.
