Belchior

Belchior 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.
