The Bahian singer whose 1995 hit 'Dengo' launched a career of romantic pagode and personal turbulence.
For his sound, start with 'Dengo.' For his complicated public story, 'Quem Ama Tambem Trai' says plenty.
Netinho's 1995 debut album 'Dengo' gave Brazilian pagode a specific, sentimental voice that reached far beyond Salvador. Songs like 'Quer casar Comigo?' became wedding staples, while 'Agora ou Nunca Mais' and 'Intrigas' showed his knack for relationship drama set to rhythm. His 2003 arrest for drug possession added a real-world shadow to that romantic persona.
He started in Salvador bars, then broke nationally with 'Dengo' in 1995. The wedding favorite 'Quer casar Comigo?' and songs like 'Agora ou Nunca Mais' kept him on radio through the late '90s and early 2000s, alongside collaborations with Ivete Sangalo and Alexandre Pires.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
