Chico César is a Brazilian popular musician, born in Catolé do Rocha (Paraíba) in northeastern Brazil on jan 26, 1964. In recent years, he has emerged as one of Brazil's leading songwriters and social critics, taking up the mantle of women's rights, the homeless, and countless other causes in his compositions and music videos. His characteristic style fuses rhythms from the northeast of Brazil like Forró, Baiao, Xote and reggae and funk, with lyrics that blend humor with social commentary.[source: wikepedia]
Take a look at a short video of Chico and Ana Carolina (artist to be featured in this blog):
I've been living in the US for the past 18 years. I've always enjoyed Brazilian music, but maybe the distance from my homeland made it turn into a passion. I created this space to share with you what is happening in the MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) scene in Brazil currently. Hope you enjoy. And by the way, I love to hear your comments...
