Artist: Lulu SantosLP: O Ritmo Do Momento
Did you ever wonder what it would sound like if Rick Springfield had been born in Rio de Janeiro and sang in Portuguese? (At least I think Lulu's singing in Portuguese, though it kinda' sounds like Spanish. Will someone please verify?) You can read about Lulu Santos here and visit his Portuguese-language website here (to turn off sound, click the top button on the pink radio down in the corner). My Portuguese is a little rusty, but I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't seem like his website contains any anecdotes about the grade school traumas suffered by a pretty-faced pre-teen laddie named Lulu—who later exacted revenge on his tormentors by becoming a rock star heartthrob with brazillions of screaming fans.
I've read about this fella in an encyclopedia of Brazilian music but have never heard him in action. I will investigate further.
