Mr Bongo

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].

The 1977 self-titled album from legendary Brazilian artist, Tim Maia. A fusion of soul, boogie, disco and MPB, featuring 'E Necessario'.Tim Maia is rightly recognised as one of the biggest icons in Brazilian music. He was born in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro 1942, and released over 30 albums during his extensive and well-publicised career, touching on funk, bossa nova, disco, MPB, rock, soul and jazz. In the 1970s, Maia started to record albums and perform shows promoting his synthesis of American soul and Brazilian music with elements of samba and baião. The album features classic tracks, such as 'E Necessario', one of the best of his career and a favourite of ours for many years, and the boogie gem, 'Verão Carioca'. These soulful, funky tracks sit next to beautiful, heart-wrenching ballads and the equally funky instrumental 'Flores Belas'.
