Biography

Adelmario Coelho e Silva, born in Curaçá, Bahia, established himself as one of the greatest exponents of northeastern Brazilian popular music, especially forró pé-de-serra. Before achieving artistic notoriety, he worked in various professions, such as taxi driver and worker at the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex, building a solid trajectory of overcoming adversity until recording his first musical works in the 1990s.

National recognition was driven by hits like the album "Não fale mal do meu país" and by an unusual incident in which the shipment of his records was looted in Bahia, which ended up involuntarily spreading his songs across northeastern radio stations. Throughout his career, Adelmario has recorded dozens of albums, including tributes to great icons of our culture like Luiz Gonzaga and musical partnerships and references that dialogue with the legacy of Trio Nordestino.

In addition to his expressive discography and international tours in Europe, the artist stands out for his commitment to social and cultural causes, supporting charitable institutions and launching publications aimed at valuing northeastern identity. With more than twenty years of career celebrated on albums like "Revirando as Gavetas", he remains an important guardian of June festival traditions and popular manifestations in Brazil.
