A São Paulo musician whose songs like 'Trate de ser feliz' have a steady, unshowy appeal.
For a sense of his sound, try 'Trate de ser feliz' or the earlier 'Prisma'. They frame his steady, unflashy approach pretty well.
His 1976 song 'Prisma' became widely known in Brazil, and tracks like 'Trate de ser feliz' and 'Totalmente diferente' show a style that draws from Brazilian sounds but stays his own. Borges worked with players like guitarist Celso Blues Boy and drummer Robertinho Silva, putting out albums from 'Noite' in 1979 to 'Amazônia' in 1988. He kept writing and recording through different periods without much fuss about trends.
He started releasing music in the 1970s from São Paulo. Borges put out albums like 'Sol Nascente' in 1982 and kept going with songs including 'Melhor Momento' and 'Nega'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
