Zé Ramalho
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zé Ramalho (born José Ramalho Neto on October 03, 1949 - Brejo do Cruz - Paraiba, Brazil) is a Brazilian composer and performer.
As with many musicians back in his younger days he was first influenced by rock and roll, however, at the age of 20, his music took a more Northeastern Brazilian approach. Ze Ramalho's lyrics however, are very influenced by the socio-economic difficulties faced by the average Brazilian. In his very fist musical debut, called "Paebiru" (1974), Ze Ramalho flirted with the psychedelic brazilian folk and made outstanding songs with another northwestern musician, Lula Cortes. Today the copies from the very rare vinyl from 1974 are highly-priced in the international collector's market.
Ze Ramalho has recorded 17 solo albums and colaborated with various major Brazilian musicians, including Vanusa, Geraldo Azevedo and Alceu Valenca to name a few. Ze Ramalho is also the first cousin of Elba Ramalho; a well known Brazilian composer and performer.
