Chico Buarque (born Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, 19 Jun 1944, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - also known as Chico Buarque de Hollanda), is a singer, composer, dramatist, and writer, although he is best known for his music, which often comments on Brazilian social, economic & cultural issues.
Chico came from an intellectual and privileged family background. Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda, his father, was a well-known historian and sociologist.

Chico came from an intellectual and privileged family background. Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda, his father, was a well-known historian and sociologist. Aurélio Buarque de Hollanda, his lexicographer uncle, is as strongly associated with Brazilian dictionaries as Webster is with American English ones.
He was a studious child, precocious in music & writing, and was heavily impressed by bossa nova - specifically, João Gilberto's work.
Chico made his public debut as musician and composer in 1964, rapidly building his reputation at music festivals and television variety shows. His self-titled debut album exemplified the work to come, with catchy sambas characterized by inventive wordplay and an undercurrent of nostalgic tragedy.
Chico's increasing political activity against the Brazilian military dictatorship resulted in his arrest in 1968, and eventual self-exile to Italy in 1969. Other important musicians like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil experienced the same fate. Chico returned to Brazil in 1970, using his fame and song-writing skills to protest against the dictatorship. At this time his lightly-veiled protest single Apesar de Você (Despite you) somehow passed by the gaze of military censors, becoming the democracy movement's anthem. After selling over 100,000 copies, the single was eventually repressed, and all copies were removed from the market. Despite the censorship, songs such as Samba de Orly (Samba of Orly; 1970), Acorda Amor (Wake Up, Darling; 1974), and Vai Passar (It Will Pass; 1983) made Chico's continuing opposition blatant.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Chico collaborated with filmmakers, playwriters, and musicians in further protest works against the dictatorship.
In 1998, the carnival samba school Mangueira took Chico as its annual theme, winning first prize.
His latest book, Budapeste, achieved great critical acclaim and won the Prêmio Jabuti, a Brazilian literary award similar to The Booker Prize Award.

Chico Buarque Lyrics
Lá não tem brisa
Não tem verde-azuis
Não tem frescura nem atrevimento
Lá não figura no mapa
No avesso da montanha, é labirinto
É contra-senha, é cara a tapa
Fala, Penha
Fala, Irajá
Fala, Olaria
Fala, Acari, Vigário Geral
Fala, Piedade
Casas sem cor
Ruas de pó, cidade
Que não se pinta
Que é sem vaidade
Vai, faz ouvir os acordes do choro-canção
Traz as cabrochas e a roda de samba
Dança teu funk, o rock, forró, pagode, reggae
Teu hip-hop
Fala na língua do rap
Desbanca a outra
A tal que abusa
De ser tão maravilhosa
Lá não tem moças douradas
Expostas, andam nus
Pelas quebradas teus exus
Não tem turistas
Não sai foto nas revistas
Lá tem Jesus
E está de costas
Fala, Maré
Fala, Madureira
Fala, Pavuna
Fala, Inhaúma
Cordovil, Pilares
Espalha a tua voz
Nos arredores
Carrega a tua cruz
E os teus tambores
Vai, faz ouvir os acordes do choro-canção
Traz as cabrochas e a roda de samba
Dança teu funk, o rock, forró, pagode, reggae
Teu hip-hop
Fala na língua do rap
Fala no pé
Dá uma idéia
Naquela que te sombreia
Lá não tem claro-escuro
A luz é dura
A chapa é quente
Que futuro tem
Aquela gente toda
Perdido em ti
Eu ando em roda
É pau, é pedra
É fim de linha
É lenha, é fogo, é foda
Fala, Penha
Fala, Irajá
Fala, Encantado, Bangu
Fala, Realengo
Fala, Maré
Fala, Madureira
Fala, Meriti, Nova Iguaçu
Fala, Paciência
