Background notes
Archive material and source history
Pedro da Costa was a Brazilian singer from Santos who gained attention in the early 1990s with his debut album 'Alma Brasileira.' His voice had a soulful quality that worked well with Brazilian pop and samba rhythms, though he's mostly remembered for one particular song.
In 1995, he released 'Amor Proibido,' a ballad that became a national hit in Brazil. The song's popularity was complicated by accusations of plagiarism, with some critics claiming it sounded too similar to another Brazilian ballad. Costa denied these allegations, but they followed him for years.
His personal life also drew attention when he had a public affair with a married woman, which became tabloid fodder. He continued performing and released several more albums through the early 2000s, including 'Segredos' in 1997 and 'Retratos' in 2003, usually working with a rotating group of musicians.
