A 1970s singer-songwriter whose gentle songs still echo in Brazil.
For a good sense of his range, listen to the gentle 'Ao Nosso Lar' and then the more rhythmic 'Regue o Reggae.' They're both him.
His 1973 song 'Quem Vai Chorar Por Mim' became a genuine hit, but his catalog runs deeper than that single moment. Songs like 'Triste Coração' and 'Ao Nosso Lar' have that lived-in quality that keeps them circulating years later. He worked with lyricist Aldir Blanc and guitarist Paulo César Pinheiro, placing him in a specific creative circle of that era.
He started recording in the 1970s, putting out albums like 'Fotografias' in 1973 and 'Brazil' in 1975. Later records like 1977's 'Voz e Violão' suggest a shift toward a more stripped-down sound. His recordings, from 'Estórias de Amor' to 'Alto da Felicidade,' are still heard in Brazil today.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
