He was well known in his native country for performing with musical ensembles Sá & Guarabyra, Sá, Rodrix & Guarabyra, Som Imaginário and Momento Quatro. A native of Rio de Janeiro, José Rodrigues Trindade used a modified spelling of his middle name as part of his stage name throughout a career that spanned over four decades. Som Imaginario, with another well-known member, Robertinho Silva, accompanied Milton Nascimento and Gal Costa and, in 1971, Elis Regina's recording of his rock-rural "Casa no Campo" (with Tavito) became a huge hit. During the 1970s, Sá e Guarabyra would continue as a duo while Rodrix pursued a solo career. Both acts played what they described as "rural rock", "a synthesis of the escapist dream depicted in the American folk-rock songs of the '60s within the reality of upcountry Brazil". A longtime resident of São Paulo, Zé Rodrix died of natural cause ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
