A Brazilian singer-songwriter whose 1990s hit 'Ele Vai Voltar' became a national touchstone.
For his sound, start with 'Ele Vai Voltar'. For a later feel, something like 'Reencontro' or 'O Meu Jesus É Lindo' works.
That 1990s single 'Ele Vai Voltar' gave him a national profile with its sad, memorable melody. Songs like 'Clame A Ele' and 'Sonda-me' show how he works within samba and bossa nova traditions. His collaborations, like the track with Ivete Sangalo, and his cited influences, Chico Buarque, Elis Regina, place him in a specific lineage of Brazilian popular music.
He came up in Rio de Janeiro and found wider attention in the 1990s with the album 'Deixa Falar'. Later albums like 'Sonhos' and a live São Paulo recording followed, along with work with musicians like guitarist Sérgio Sampaio. A 2010 copyright dispute over 'Ele Vai Voltar' became part of his story.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
