Siba

Siba, born Sérgio Roberto Veloso de Oliveira, is a Brazilian musician, composer, and poet renowned for his vibrant blend of traditional Brazilian music and contemporary sounds that fuse regional rhythms with global influences. Emerging from the rich cultural landscape of Pernambuco, he became a pivotal figure in the Manguebeat movement of the 1990s as part of the band Mestre Ambrósio, where he played the rabeca (a Brazilian fiddle) and infused Northeastern Brazilian music with rock, funk, and other genres.

Embarking on a solo career, Siba has continued to explore and push the boundaries of Brazilian music. His discography is a testament to his commitment to both innovation and tradition, evidenced in albums such as "Violas de Bronze" (2005), where enchanting strings meet poetic lyricism, and "Avante" (2012), which showcases his masterful integration of electric guitar and regional rhythms. The captivating narratives in "De Baile Solto" (2015) further solidify his reputation as a storyteller. With his ensemble, Siba e a Fuloresta, he has revitalized traditional maracatu and ciranda styles, while his collaborative spirit is on display in works like "Baggios Encontra Siba" (a collaboration with the rock band Os Baggios) and live performance recordings for "Sessões Selo Sesc." His most recent releases, such as "Contente Igual um Pintinho" and "A Turma Tá Subindo," continue to charm audiences with a mixture of playful lyrics, infectious rhythms, and a seamless blend of the old with the new, ensuring his music remains both rooted and refreshingly contemporary.
