Zé do Norte

Having worked being a composer and in addition as the consultant on Northeastern language for the honored film O Cangaceiro (by Lima Barreto, 1953, winner of the fantastic Prize on the Cannes Festival as the very best film), Zé perform Norte became internationally well-known for his tune “Mulher Rendeira” (an adaptation of a style related to Virgulino Ferreira, the Lampião himself). He also had written the traditional “Sodade Meu Bem, Sodade” (included on a single soundtrack, documented by Vanja Orico), re-recorded by many interpreters including Nana Caymmi and Maria Bethânia. Having got an unhealthy and suffering years as a child as a natural cotton picker, perform Norte was usually thinking about music, walking kilometers to view the cantadores (minstrels). His later on strike “Sodade, Meu Bem, Sodade” was created when he was 11. In 1928, he relocated to Rio de Janeiro and became a member of the military. In 1938, carrying out at a good in Rio de Janeiro, he was observed by Joraci Camargo and Rubens de Assis, who asked him to execute with the popular performers Sílvio Caldas and Orlando Silva for an target audience of 20,000 people. In 1939, he was asked to become listed on Rádio Tupi and it had been after that that he used his stage name. In 1950, after he worked well at several r / c, do Norte documented the originals “Vamos Rodar” and “Prazer perform Boiadeiro,” when he was asked by Lima Barreto to focus on his film O Cangaceiro. Included on the film had been “Mulher Rendeira,” “Sodade, Meu Bem, Sodade,” “Meu Pião,” and “Lua Bonita” and perform Norte had each one of these tunes documented internationally. In 1955, Inesita Barroso documented his adaptation from the folklore “Mineiro Tá Me Chamando,” and, four years later on, Luís Vieira documented the baião “Milho Verde.” Raul Seixas also re-recorded “Lua Bonita.”
