A Salvador-born musician who mixed rock with Brazilian sounds and counterculture themes.
If you're new to Seixas, "Metamorfose Ambulante" is the track everyone knows. For something different, try "Cantar" or "Aos Trancos e Barrancos" from his top songs.
Seixas gave Brazilian rock a distinct voice that wasn't just imitating foreign trends. Songs like "Tente Outra Vez" show how he could write something that worked both as a rock track and as a duet with Elis Regina. His lyrics often leaned into philosophy and personal change, which made him stand out in the 1970s scene.
He started putting out albums in the early 1970s, with titles like "Krig-há, Bandolo!" and "Há Dez Mil Anos Atrás." Later, he worked with lyricist Paulo Coelho on some material. He kept recording until his death in 1989.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
