Background notes
Archive material and source history
Vanderlei Souza came from the rural town of Ervália in Minas Gerais, where he taught himself guitar as a teenager and started writing songs. In 1996, he released his debut album 'Saudades de Ervália,' and the title track became a nationwide hit in Brazil. The song's lyrics about his hometown connected with listeners through its straightforward emotion.
He kept recording after that initial success, putting out albums like 'Esperando o Sol' in 1998 and 'O Menino do Agreste' in 2000. His band included musicians like Cláudio Almeida on bass and Pedrinho da Viola on viola. Later records, including a 2010 live album from São Paulo, showed him working with different musical approaches while still drawing on those early roots.
