José Rodrigues Trindade, better known by his stage name Zé Rodrix, was an influential Brazilian musician, singer-songwriter, and composer whose career spanned several decades, deeply intertwined with the fabric of Brazilian music. Born on November 25, 1947, in Rio de Janeiro, Rodrix made significant contributions to the Brazilian rock and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) scenes, especially during the 1970s.

Zé Rodrix is perhaps best remembered for his involvement with the musical movement called "Sá, Rodrix & Guarabyra," a collaboration with fellow musicians Luís Carlos Sá and Guttemberg Guarabyra, producing hits like "Casa No Campo" and "Velho Cigano." His solo work continued to resonate, including albums like "Soy Latino Americano" and "Hora Extra," which showcased his versatility as an artist and his ability to blend rock with regional Brazilian sounds. The soundtrack "O Esquadrão da Morte (Trilha Sonora Original)" is another testament to his diverse talents. Rodrix's musical legacy remains influential, as his compositions continue to be celebrated for their lyrical depth and melodic richness. He passed away on May 22, 2009, leaving behind a treasure trove of musical works that continue to inspire new generations of artists and fans alike.
