Nearly 20 years after they first began recording professionally and in the midst of the twist craze, they had a Top 10 pop hit with their cover of "Maria Elena," a Mexican folklore song.
RCA and their promoters have always drawn a veil of mystery around Los Indios Tabajaras, so it's tough to trace their early years accurately. Their literature claimed they discovered a guitar in the jungle near Ceara, Brazil, and, after making sure it wasn't going to explode like other firearms their tribesmen had found, began to examine it. Eventually, they both mastered the instrument and came to the attention of townspeople, one of whom took them to Rio de Janeiro to play.
Dressing up in ceremonial Indian costumes, the brothers perfected a nightclub act in which they sang and played Brazilian and Latin folk songs. They changed their names to Natalicio and Antenor Lima and began touring throughout South America. In 1943, RCA's Latin American arm signed them to a contract.
In the early 1950s, they took a break from touring and returned to study, each with a different teacher. Natalicio focused on melody and Antenor worked on harmony. They also added a substantial classical repertoire to their act, including guitar pieces by Bach, Falla, and Albeniz.
Another tour followed, this time to Europe as well, and they recorded several more albums for RCA in Mexico. One of their singles, "Maria Elena," released in 1958, became a steady seller, and by early 1962, its success caught the eye of RCA's U.S. division. They issued the tune, and this lovely, gentle melody quickly carved a solid niche in the U.S. pop charts. It ended up spending 14 weeks in the U.S. Top 10 and 17 weeks in the U.K. charts, and the subsequent album placed in the Top 10 album chart as well. Within a year, the brothers followed with another single, "Always in My Heart," but the novelty had worn off and it barely dented the Top 100.
Chet Atkins was particularly impressed by the brothers' guitar work, and he invited them to Nashville, where they recorded an instrumental album with Atkins and pianist Floyd Cramer, and--in one of the oddest releases of the countrypolitan era--one with singer Don Gibson ("Oh, Lonesome Me").
RCA--both the U.S. and Latin American divisions--continued to record them well into the 1980s, and the brother's mellow guitar style proved a big influence on a new generation of guitarists such as Rick Vito

Los Indios Tabajaras Official
Manuel and all Los Indios Tabajaras fans, are invited to see at my channel the documentary SERENADING TO MICHIKO, the ultimate record of virtuoso Nato Lima.
The documentary begins in 2004 in New York City, where he lived, along with his third wife Michiko Lima. At 86 years old, forgotten by the industry and living far from his fame, he still had vivid memories of his odyssey and its origins. A story, that if it weren't true it would have fictional outlines.
The images I captured during the time I spent with him as his New York host and then in São Paulo, during the recordings of his solo album and finally in Iguape (South coast of São Paulo), with his sudden death in 2009, became a unique opportunity to be with Muçapere in the last years of his life. That far from proving or clarifying anything is a dive into a trajectory so extraordinary that it makes the boundary between fact and fiction irrelevant. Because those who have had the power to convert listeners and viewers around the world with
a song supremely idealized are Indians, Los Indios Tabajaras.
A privilege that every fan yearns is to be able to enter the intimacy of their idols and be in front of them. in front of a myth, a legend, having breakfast, sitting on the floor listening to his records, having lunch and walking around New York City, where he lived for 45 years, is a thrill comparable to standing in front of a superhero.
If that wasn't enough I still had the honor of producing the album "Serenading To Michiko", the the only solo record of a 70-year career that's shut up forever. A musical will from legacy left by him and his brother in the history of world music. The last chance to see virtuoso guitarist, in the fullness of his artistic maturity creating his ultimate work.Nato Lima died at the age of 89, on November 15, 2009, in New York City and not in the jungle where he dreamed.

Como no recordar a mi abuelito que en paz descanse, sentado en su mecedora y con un pichel de agua espiritual, bebiendo y llorando por quién sabe quién , ésta melodía estaba en su apogeo, en aquel entonces, y yo un niño, tiempos que jamás volverán
