Born Almir Eduardo Melke Sater on November 14, 1956, in Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, he has become an emblematic figure of the country's folk and sertanejo (Brazilian country) music scene since the 1980s.
His career is marked by a deep reverence for the rural and pantaneiro (inhabitants of the Pantanal region) elements that color his music, weaving together threads of traditional Brazilian sounds with influences from folk, country, and even rock. Sater's musical journey has been prolific, with numerous albums that reflect his virtuosity on the viola and his warm, soothing vocals. Works like "Do Amanhã Nada Sei" and "Peabiru" showcase his ongoing exploration and innovation within Brazilian roots music. Collaborative efforts such as "+ AR," alongside fellow musician Renato Teixeira, demonstrate his ability to engage in rich artistic partnerships. His musical contributions also extend to television, where his work on the soundtrack for the famed soap opera "Pantanal" brought his music to a broader audience, encapsulating the spirit of Brazil's vast wetlands. Almir's artistry, characterized by its storytelling and evocative melodies, has secured him a lasting legacy in the annals of Brazilian music.
