LUIZ SALGADO

VOIX DU MONDE presented by TV5

Luiz Salgado’s music is pure poetry. It reveals the very essence of the Cerrado in his native

state of Minas Gerais and is as rich and pristine as the country’s eastern highland tropical

savanna itself. On guitar, the raw traditional chords ring true, underscoring the sincerity in his

voice. For the past 25 years, the folksinger has been sharing through song, stories that are

rooted in Folia dos Reis and Congado popular cultures, depicting social realities and

celebrating the beauty of nature and our relationship to the earth.
