Zezão came up in Rio de Janeiro's favelas, teaching himself guitar and writing songs about the life around him. His music drew from samba, funk, and rock, and his debut album came out in 1995. The track 'Homem Torto' was on that record.
That song, 'Homem Torto,' drew criticism from some quarters for its raw lyrics, but it also connected with listeners who felt on the margins. He kept recording, putting out albums like 'Homem Torto II' in 2000 and 'Filho da Favela' in 2005. He played with a band called Os Tortos.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
