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
O meu pai era paulista
Meu avô, pernambucano
O meu bisavô, mineiro
Meu tataravô, baiano
Meu maestro soberano
Foi Antonio Brasileiro
Foi Antonio Brasileiro
Quem soprou esta toada
Que cobri de redondilhas
Pra seguir minha jornada
E com a vista enevoada
Ver o inferno e maravilhas
Nessas tortuosas trilhas
A viola me redime
Creia, ilustre cavalheiro
Contra fel, moléstia, crime
Use Dorival Caymmi
Vá de Jackson do Pandeiro
Vi cidades, vi dinheiro
Bandoleiros, vi hospícios
Moças feito passarinho
Avoando de edifícios
Fume Ari, cheire Vinícius
Beba Nelson Cavaquinho
Para um coração mesquinho
Contra a solidão agreste
Luiz Gonzaga é tiro certo
Pixinguinha é inconteste
Tome Noel, Cartola, Orestes
Caetano e João Gilberto
Viva Erasmo, Ben, Roberto
Gil e Hermeto, palmas para
Todos os instrumentistas
Salve Edu, Bituca, Nara
Gal, Bethania, Rita, Clara
Evoé, jovens à vista
O meu pai era paulista
Meu avô, pernambucano
O meu bisavô, mineiro
Meu tataravô, baiano
Vou na estrada há muitos anos
Sou um artista brasileiro

Alem do viés social e político a letra é mais claramente uma receita medicinal contra os males da alma. É terapêutica. Muitos desses males é fruto da mesquinhez humana e ficar apenas no viés político é incorrer num desses males: a intolerância. Grande artista! Como tantos outros. Se fossem assimilados não haveria guerras, só festas e paz.
Guilherme Lucas
Amigo, só vou te corrigir em "como tantos outros". Ele é inigualável, de talento ímpar. Compositores como Chico são raros.
Jorvandes Marçal
Eu me emociono é muito talento, ele consegue despertar a união de nosso povo o despojamento e homenageia um monte de gênio, amo esse cara!
leandro henrique santos freire
Na verdade eu ainda espero chegar ao dia em que essa união seja de fato praticada, quando percebermos que não tem diferença entre o baiano, o pernambucano, o paraibano...
