About — The artist
Alceu Valença, born on 1 July 1946, is a Brazilian singer, musician and songwriter. From the backlands of Pernambuco, in north-eastern Brazil, he is known for having achieved an aesthetic balance between traditional north-eastern Brazilian music and a wide range of pop-derived sounds and electronic effects. His songs often incorporate elements of maracatu, coco and "repentes de viola".
Valença uses electric guitar, electric bass and, more recently, synthesiser, allowing him to reinterpret traditional north-eastern music forms such as baião, coco, toada, maracatu, frevo, caboclinhos, embolada and repentes, all set against a musical backdrop that is at times rock, at times alternative. His aesthetic base remains north-eastern Brazilian music.
