Belchior (Portuguese pronunciation: [bewkiˈɔɾ], born Antônio Carlos Belchior,[1] October 26, 1946 – April 30, 2017) was a Brazilian singer and composer.[2] He was one of the first MPB singers from the Brazilian northeast to reach mainstream success, in the early 1970s.
His 1976 album Alucinação [English: Hallucination] is considered by many critics to be the single most influential album in the history of MPB,[3][4] and one of the most important music albums ever published in Brazil. In 2008, Rolling Stone Brasil named Belchior as the 100th greatest artist in Brazilian music history,[5] and subsequently as the 58th biggest voice in Brazilian music history.[6]
