A Rio de Janeiro singer-songwriter whose band formed in 2004 and released albums like 'Voa Voa Borboleta'.
For a good sense of his sound, try 'Dá Meia Volta' or 'Para Tudo (Diguerê).' They've got that Rio feel without trying too hard.
Machado's music comes straight from Rio, built on samba and bossa nova rhythms that feel like the city itself. The song 'Dá Meia Volta' shows how he works those Brazilian styles into something personal. His 2007 track 'Voa Voa Borboleta' got regular radio play and became one of those songs people in Brazil just know.
He started performing in Brazil in the early 2000s, forming his band around 2004. Their debut 'Tudo o Que Sou' came out in 2006, followed by 'Voa Voa Borboleta' the next year. The group took a break around 2010 but returned to recording and performing afterward.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
