Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Zigners formed in Recife in 1964 with Walter Queiroz on guitar, José Maria on vocals, Fernando Pinto on bass, and Armando de Lima on drums. Their name came from the Romani people, which fit their eclectic approach. In 1968, their debut album included 'Abelhinha,' a song about forbidden love that became widely popular in Brazil.
Some critics accused the band of plagiarism regarding 'Abelhinha,' claiming it resembled another Brazilian song. They kept working, experimenting with rock, pop, and jazz elements in their sound.
They collaborated with artists like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Chico Buarque. The band released seven studio albums, including 'Zigzag' in 1970 and 'Clube da Esquina' with Milton Nascimento in 1972. Other songs like 'Filho do vento' and 'Megafone' show their range. The Zigners dissolved in 1980, after which members pursued solo careers, with Queiroz becoming a producer and Maria continuing as a songwriter.
