Criolo is a famous Brazilian singer, rapper, songwriter and actor - one of my favourite artists nowadays.
He started his carrer in the favelas of São Paulo when he was still a child and in 2006 he debuted his first album. Full of criticism and a strong rethoric,in 2012 Criolo would see a boom of his music worldwide.
In 2017 he debuted a Samba album, Espiral de Ilusão, which was elected the 6th best Brazilian album of that year by Rolling Stone. The album was accompanied by the first issue of his own magazine.
The second song of the album, Dilúvio de Solidão, was the first one I learned to play and sing on the tambourine and also the first I felt confident enough to record myself, so here you go.
Hope you enjoy and go listen to some of Criolo's songs!
