Editor's note

Taiguara, the exiled Brazilian singer-songwriter

A voice of social themes who blended Brazilian rhythms with a life shaped by political exile.

For a sense of his range, try 'Estrela Vermelha' for the political edge and 'Manhã Em Londres' for that exile mood. Both hold up.

His songs like 'Estrela Vermelha' carried weight during Brazil's dictatorship, offering subtle resistance through music. The arrest in 1973 and subsequent exile to Europe for over a decade turned his work into a chronicle of displacement. Tracks such as 'Negróide' and 'Manhã Em Londres' reflect that blend of Brazilian roots and foreign landscapes.

He started releasing music in the late 1960s, with his first album out in 1968. After being arrested in 1973, he spent years in Europe before returning in 1985, making albums like 'Cantigas de Exílio' along the way. He kept blending styles until his death in 1996.
