A key 1970s songwriter whose three albums still echo today.
For a quick sense of his thing, try 'Casca de Caracol' or 'Rock do Planalto'. They're both good places to start.
He wrote songs that feel like small, lived-in stories, like 'Casca de Caracol' and 'Água Que Não Vais Beber'. They've held up well enough that other artists still cover them. That's a pretty good sign someone got something right.
He put out three records in the 1970s, starting with the self-titled 'Zé Rodrix' in 1973 and ending with 'Nasci Para Chover' in 1978. He worked with a tight crew of players like Osmar Milito and Victor Biglione. The car accident in 1979 cut everything short when he was 28.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
