Francisco Buarque de Hollanda (born 19 June 1944), popularly known simply as Chico Buarque,[a] is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer, 🍏 playwright, writer, and poet. He is best known for his music, which often includes social, economic, and cultural reflections on 🍏 Brazil.

The firstborn son of Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda, Buarque lived at several locations throughout his childhood, though mostly in Rio 🍏 de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Rome. He wrote and studied literature as a child and found music through the bossa 🍏 nova compositions of Tom Jobim and João Gilberto. He performed as a singer and guitarist in the 1960s as well 🍏 as writing a play that was deemed dangerous by the Brazilian military dictatorship of the time. Buarque, along with several 🍏 Tropicalist and MPB musicians, was threatened by the Brazilian military government and eventually left Brazil for Italy in 1969. However, 🍏 he came back to Brazil in 1970, and continued to record, perform, and write, though much of his material was 🍏 suppressed by government censors. He released several more albums in the 1980s and published three novels in the 1990s and 🍏 2000s.

In 2024, Buarque was awarded the Camões Prize, the most important prize for literature in the Portuguese language. However, awarding 🍏 of the prize was delayed by four years due to actions by Jair Bolsonaro, but Buarque received it in April 🍏 2024.[1]

Early life and career [ edit ]

Buarque was born in Rio de Janeiro on 19 June 1944. He came from 🍏 an intellectually privileged family background—his father Sérgio Buarque de Holanda was a well-known historian, sociologist and journalist and his mother 🍏 Maria Amélia Cesário Alvim was a painter and pianist. He is also brother of the singer Miúcha and politician Ana 🍏 de Hollanda. As a child, he was impressed by the musical style of bossa nova, specifically the work of Tom 🍏 Jobim and João Gilberto. He was also interested in writing, composing his first short story at 18 years old[2] and 🍏 studying European literature, also at a young age.[3] One of his most consuming interests, however, was playing football, beginning at 🍏 age four, and he still played regularly in his 60s.[3] During his childhood, he lived in Rio de Janeiro, São 🍏 Paulo and Rome.
