Joao Do Vale
João do Vale (1934–1996) was a Brazilian singer and songwriter closely associated with northeastern Brazilian popular music, particularly the forró/baião tradition. Born in the state of Maranhão, he became known for songs that brought the rhythms and stories of the Northeast into the national spotlight, often with a strong social-realist streak.
He’s best remembered for classics like “Carcará” (popularized in the 1960s and later performed by many artists, including collaborations tied to Chico Buarque) and “Pisa na Fulô.” Over his career, João do Vale’s work bridged regional roots and mainstream Brazilian MPB, leaving him as a key name in the canon of Brazilian popular song.
