Di Melo is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist known for his fusion of soul, funk, psychedelia, and traditional Brazilian music. Born Roberto de Melo Santos in Recife, Brazil, he rose to prominence in the 1970s with his self-titled debut album released in 1975, which has since become a cult classic and a favorite among crate-diggers worldwide for its unique mix of grooves and social commentary. His style blends influences ranging from James Brown and Otis Redding to samba and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), creating a sound that’s both timeless and distinctly his own.
After a long period out of the public eye, Di Melo experienced a resurgence in the 2000s when his music was rediscovered by a new generation of fans and DJs. He has since returned to performing and recording, continuing to create vibrant, genre-defying music well into the present day. His recent releases, like "A Vida em Seus Métodos Diz Calma" and "Se o Mundo Acabasse em Mel," show that he remains a vital force in Brazilian music, celebrated for his originality, charisma, and unwavering artistic spirit.
