Chico Buarque (full name: Francisco Buarque de Hollanda; born June 19, 1944 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian singer, composer, dramatist and writer. He is best known for his music, which often comments on Brazil's social, economic and cultural reality. Chico came from a both intellectual and privileged family background: his father Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda was a well-known historian and sociologist, and the first name of his lexicographer uncle Aurélio Buarque de Hollanda is as strongly associated with Brazilian Portuguese dictionaries as the name Webster is with American ones. A studious child with a precocious interest in music and writing, Chico was heavily impressed by bossa nova, and specifically, by the work of Joo Gilberto. Chico made his public debut as musician and composer in 1964, rapidly building his reputation at music festivals and television variety shows.

Chico Buarque
O meu pai era paulista
Meu av, pernambucano
O meu bisav, mineiro
Meu tatarav, baiano
Meu maestro soberano
Foi Antonio Brasileiro
Foi Antonio Brasileiro
Quem soprou esta toada
Que cobri de redondilhas
Pra seguir minha jornada
E com a vista enevoada
Ver o inferno e maravilhas
Nessas tortuosas trilhas
A viola me redime
Creia, ilustre cavalheiro
Contra fel, molstia, crime
Use Dorival Caymmi
V de Jackson do Pandeiro
Vi cidades, vi dinheiro
Bandoleiros, vi hospcios
Moas feito passarinho
Avoando de edifcios
Fume Ari, cheire Vincius
Beba Nelson Cavaquinho
Para um corao mesquinho
Contra a solido agreste
Luiz Gonzaga tiro certo
Pixinguinha inconteste
Tome Noel, Cartola, Orestes
Caetano e Joo Gilberto
Viva Erasmo, Ben, Roberto
Gil e Hermeto, palmas para
Todos os instrumentistas
Salve Edu, Bituca, Nara
Gal, Bethania, Rita, Clara
Evo, jovens a vista
O meu pai era paulista
Meu av pernambucano
O meu bisav, mineiro
Meu tatarav baiano
Vou na estrada h muitos anos
Sou um artista brasileiro
