A Brazilian musician whose quiet songs and Netflix theme reached listeners worldwide.
For a quick sense of his style, listen to Tuyo from Narcos and then something like Rosa from Cavalo. They're both quiet, but they come from different places.
Amarante's 2015 song Tuyo for Narcos introduced his sparse, Spanish-language style to a global audience, but his solo work like Eu Bebo Sim from 2013's Cavalo shows a broader range rooted in Brazilian sounds. He crafts intimate tracks built around acoustic guitar and hushed vocals, avoiding anthemic rock for something more personal. That approach has connected with collaborators like Devendra Banhart and fans who appreciate music that doesn't shout.
He started in the early 2000s as a co-founder of the rock band Los Hermanos, which disbanded in 2007. His solo material emerged with the 2013 album Cavalo, and later work included the 2017 album Drama with songs like Condicional. The shift from band rock to quieter, solo acoustic pieces defines his path.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
