Arnaldo Antunes

Arnaldo Antunes is a multifaceted Brazilian artist who’s carved out a vibrant career as a musician, poet, and visual artist. Hailing from São Paulo, he first gained prominence in the 1980s as a founding member of the iconic rock band Titãs, known for their sharp lyrics and rebellious energy. After leaving the group in the early ’90s, Antunes dove into a solo career that blends MPB, rock, and experimental poetry, earning him a reputation as a boundary-pushing creative force. His work often intertwines music with literary flair, reflecting his parallel success as a published poet and collaborator with heavyweights like Marisa Monte and Carlinhos Brown in the supergroup Tribalistas.

Today, Antunes remains a restless innovator, as shown by recent releases like *Novo Mundo* and lively tracks such as *Não Dá Para Ficar Parado Aí na Porta*. His 2023 live albums *Lágrimas no Mar (Ao vivo)* and *Contato Imediato (Ao Vivo)* capture his dynamic stage presence, while playful, bilingual wordplay in songs like *Body Corpo* highlights his trademark wit. Whether through introspective ballads or grooves that make you move, Antunes continues to shape Brazil’s cultural landscape with his genre-blurring artistry.
