Djavan

Djavan is a revered Brazilian singer-songwriter, known for blending together an eclectic mix of genres including MPB (Música Popular Brasileira), jazz, samba, and funk to create a sound that is uniquely his own. Born Djavan Caetano Viana on January 27, 1949, in Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil, he commenced his dazzling music career in the 1970s. Over the years, he has become a cornerstone of Brazilian music, enchanting audiences with his mellifluous voice and sophisticated compositions that often feature poetic lyrics infused with both passion and introspection.

His expansive discography showcases a prolific and evolutionary journey, with albums like "Luz" and "Vesúvio" marking both commercial success and critical acclaim. Djavan's talent for capturing the complexities of human emotion through melody has earned him not just a loyal fanbase in Brazil but international recognition as well. His memorable performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1997, subsequently released as "Ao Vivo no Montreux Jazz Festival 1997", is a testament to his ability to captivate audiences beyond linguistic barriers. The more recent singles such as "Beleza Destruída" and "Cedo ou Tarde" continue to display his unyielding innovation and the richness of his artistry that has, over the decades, firmly established Djavan as a beloved musical icon.
