A João Pessoa musician whose romantic ballads and pop-rock rhythms found a national audience.
If you only know one song, it's O Amor É Uma Flor. For something different, try the driving Aleluia, a Guerra Continua.
For many in Brazil, Nael Rodrigues is the voice of O Amor É Uma Flor, a song that became widely known after its 2000 release. That track's melody and romantic sentiment define his public image, even as songs like Aleluia, a Guerra Continua and Redes do Medo show he worked in other modes. The 2010 plagiarism accusations around O Amor É Uma Flor added a complicated footnote to what was already a familiar tune.
He started in a childhood choir in João Pessoa and formed his own band in 1998. Albums like Não Sou Seu Ex in 1993 and Sonhos in 1996 came before the breakthrough of O Amor É Uma Flor, with a live recording following in 2002. His band featured musicians like Reginaldo Sousa on guitar and Anderson Rocha on drums.
