Who is this?
Raimundo Fagner Cândido Lopes (born in Orós, Ceará, October 13, 1949) is a Brazilian singer, composer, musician, actor and music producer. He is commonly known by the stage name of Fagner. Biography The youngest of the five children of José Fares, a Lebanese immigrant from Ain Ebel and Dona Francisca, Fagner was born in Fortaleza, the capital of the state of Ceará, although his birth was recorded in Orós. At the age of five, he won a youth competition at a local radio station. As a teen, he formed vocal and instrumental groups and began to compose his own music. In 1968, he won the Popular Music Festival of Ceará with his song "Nada Sou". Career In 1971 he moved to Brasília, taking first place in the Popular Music Festival of the University Studies Center of Brasília with his song "Mucuripe" (with collaborator Belchior), and became Fagner's first notable success as a composer. He won prizes in other categories with additional songs as well. In 1971, he recorded his first single compact in partnership with another musician from Ceará, Wilson Cirino. It was released on the label RGE, but was not a huge success.
