Biography

Antônio Eudes Fraga de Queiroz, artistically known as Eudes Fraga, was born in Quixadá on November 21, 1962. The singer, songwriter, and acoustic guitar player began his musical career in Ceará during the early 1980s, standing out in performances through the Luis Assunção project and accumulating several awards at music festivals throughout the country, where he received recognition for best lyrics and best performer.

Throughout his career, the artist has collaborated with important names in Brazilian music, such as Jane Duboc, Nilson Chaves, Flávio Venturini, Selma Reis, Eliana Printes, Sérgio Santos, Evaldo Gouveia, and Paulo César Pinheiro. In 1995, he consolidated his discography with the release of the album Por Todos os Cantos, which featured special appearances by great exponents such as Geraldo Azevedo, Dominguinhos, Claudio Nucci, Jaques Morelenbaum, and Manassés.

In the following decades, the acoustic guitar player directed his work toward the appreciation of northeastern and northern themes, resulting in productions like Tudo Que Me Nordestes (2002), Do Espinho da Flor do Mandacaru (2005), and Infinita Floresta (2009), the latter focusing on Amazonian culture and featuring contributions from artists such as Vital Lima and Joãozinho Gomes. His most recent project, Meu Coração na Maré, released in 2019, celebrated the cultural fusion between the North and Northeast regions in partnership with Max Reis.
