Evaldo Gouveia de Oliveira (8 August 1928 – 29 May 2020), better known as simply Evaldo Gouveia, was a Brazilian singer-songwriter of the genre MPB. [1]
Born in Orós, a small city in the Brazilian state of Ceará, he moved with his family to neighboring city of Iguatu when only 3 months old. [1]
At the age of 11, he moved to his birth state capital city of Fortaleza where he started his precocious musical career. There in the 1950s he created and joined a band called Trio Nagô with his fellow musicians and friends Mário Alves and Epaminondas de Souza, releasing six studio albums and various extended plays. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Eventually, Gouveia went to Rio de Janeiro in order to pursue a solo career, and achieved stardom due to his friendship with fellow singer Altemar Dutra, who helped Gouveia by singing his songs and making them popular. [1] [2]
As a solo act, Gouveia released seven studio albums and various extended plays, most of them featuring fellow singers Adelino Moreira and Jair Amorim, even though they never formed a band. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
In late 2017, Gouveia suffered a stroke that left him with lifelong sequelae. [2]
On 29 May 2020, Gouveia died in Fortaleza at the age 91 due to complications brought on by COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. [1]
