Editor's note

Tony Franko Santos, a Brazilian songwriter for the everyday.

His 2013 song 'Meus Trintas e Poucos Anos' became an anthem for a generation.

For the mood, try 'Meus Trintas e Poucos Anos'. For a later cut, 'Que Amor É Esse?' holds up.

Santos writes songs that feel like quiet conversations, the kind that stick around. 'Meus Trintas e Poucos Anos' gave a name to that specific feeling of being in your thirties, and tracks like 'Que Amor É Esse?' keep that plainspoken tone. He's built a catalog that doesn't shout, it just settles in.

He started a band in São Paulo in the early 2000s, mixing MPB with rock and jazz. The 2013 album 'Meus Trintas e Poucos Anos' brought wider attention, and he's kept writing since, even through a 2016 royalties dispute.

Archive material and source history

Tony Franko Santos is a Brazilian musician whose song 'Meus Trintas e Poucos Anos' became something of an anthem for people in their thirties. The track appears on his 2013 album of the same name, which followed his debut 'Um Novo Dia' from 2008. Other songs like 'Diga Logo de Uma Vez' and 'Romântico à Moda Antiga' round out his catalog.

He started playing music early, influenced by MPB artists like Chico Buarque and Djavan. In the early 2000s, he formed a band under his own name in São Paulo, where he was born. Their sound mixed MPB with rock and jazz elements, building a following locally before the 2013 album brought wider attention.

There was a public dispute over royalties with a music executive in 2016, but the band kept working. They've maintained a presence in Brazilian music without the dramatic career arcs some artists experience, staying focused on the kind of introspective songwriting that first connected with listeners.
