Belchior
Belchior (Portuguese pronunciation: [bew.kiˈɔɾ], born Antônio Carlos Belchior, (Sobral, 26 October 1946 – Santa Cruz do Sul, 30 April 2017) was a Brazilian singer, poet, songwriter, musician, record producer, biology teacher, illustrator and visual artist. He was one of the young artists born in Ceará who emerged in the early 1970s on the Brazilian cultural scene and one of the first MPB singers from the Brazilian northeast to reach mainstream success at the time. During an interview, when saying his full name, Antônio Carlos Gomes Belchior Fontenelle Fernandes, the singer jokingly added that he held the "biggest name in MPB".
His 1976 album Alucinação [English: Hallucination] is considered by many critics to be the single most influential album in the history of MPB, and one of the most important music albums ever published in Brazil. In 2008, Rolling Stone Brasil named Belchior as the 100th greatest artist in Brazilian music history, and subsequently as the 58th biggest voice in Brazilian music history.
Among his greatest hits are "Apenas um Rapaz Latino-Americano", "Como Nossos Pais", "Mucuripe", "Divina Comédia Humana", "Tudo Outra Vez", "Comentário a Respeito de John", "Coração Selvagem", "Ypê", "Medo de Avião", "Galos, Noites e Quintais", "Paralelas", "Conheço meu Lugar", "Cemitério", "Fotografia 3×4", "Velha Roupa Colorida", "Rock Romance de Um Robô Goliardo", "A Palo Seco", "Na Hora do Almoço", "Pequeno Mapa do Tempo", "Balada de Madame Frigidaire", "Caso Comum de Trânsito", "Antes do Fim", "Não Leve Flores", "Voz da América", "Como o Diabo Gosta", "Vício Elegante", "Meu Cordial Brasileiro", "Alucinação", "Sujeito de Sorte" and "Morena Cor do Cacau".
In the final years of his life, Belchior reportedly disappeared on two occasions and was ultimately found in Uruguay. During this period, the singer went through a series of difficult circumstances, leaving behind debts, depending on others and at times sleeping on the streets. After a carreer that spanned several decades, he died at the age of 70 from a ruptured aortic aneurysm.
