Latin / South American 

Brazilian guitarist and singer, known as the father of Brazilian soul music. 

Born: 28 September 1942 in Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 
Died: 15 March 1998 in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (aged 55). 

Maia fundamentally changed the music scene in Brazil, introducing modern black music from the US to national pop music, linking funk, samba, and baião, bringing soul closer to bossa nova and opening windows and doors to new forms of music that were not Tropicalist, nor MPB, nor rock n' roll, but were quintessentially Brazilian. 

In 1974, he founded [l15518], the first independent music label in Brazil, the label name was taken from his initials: [b]Se[/b]bastião [b]Ro[/b]drigues [b]Ma[/b]ia. 

Many of his songs have been recorded by artists such as [a267350], [a198450], [a438893], [a360329], [a336605], [a30703], and [a83770], amongst others. 

Adoptive father of singer/songwriter [a=Léo Maia], father of [a=Carmelo Maia] and uncle of singer/producer [a=Ed Motta].

Rough Trade Essential

Career-spanning collection of tracks by the legendary Tim Maia. In the early 1970's, Brazilian popular music was approaching a high water mark of creativity and popularity. artists like Elis Regina, Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento were delivering top-shelf brazilian pop, while tropicalists Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Os Mutantes were entertaining the college set with avant-garde fuzz-pop poetry. Enter Tim Maia with a massive cannonball into the pool. It was the only dive Tim knew. Standing just 5'7 (6' with the afro) Tim Maia was large, in charge and completely out of control. He was the personification of rock star excess, having lived through five marriages and at least six children, multiple prison sentences, voluminous drug habits and a stint in an ufo obsessed religious cult. Tim is also remembered as a fat, arrogant, overindulgent, barely tolerated, yet beloved man-child who died too young at the age of 55. This music is genius!<br>
