This Tuesday there is a national show at DeRaiz with the musician Tiao Carvalho. An expert connoisseur of the rhythms of the land, in 2001 Tião Carvalho launched his solo career with his first album, entitled When you sleep Alcantara. In this album, Tião Carvalho performs songs written by himself and other composers from Maranhão.
With the track that gave the album its name, Tião Carvalho was a finalist at the Festival promoted by TV Globo. On his second album, Tião Canta João (2006), Tião Carvalho recorded compositions by master and fellow countryman João do Vale.
This work won two awards from Rádio Universidade FM, in Maranhão, in the categories “best album of the year” and “best performer”, for Tião Carvalho. The same album was nominated for the London Burning independent music award.
