Belchior (Portuguese pronunciation:[bewkiˈɔɾ], bornAntônio Carlos Belchior,[1] October 26, 1946 – April 30, 2017) was a Brazilian singer and composer.[2] He was one of the firstMPB singers from theBrazilian northeast to reach mainstream success, in the early 1970s.
His 1976 albumAlucinação [English:Hallucination] is considered by many critics to be the single most influential album in the history ofMPB,[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]
In August 2009, theFantástico TV show reported that Belchior had not been seen since 2007, after leaving his car parked at theCongonhas Airport, inSão Paulo. There were rumors that he had gone into hiding, engaged on the translation ofDante'sDivine Comedy intoPortuguese, a project on which he had been working for some time. According to the TV news, not even his family had heard from the singer or knew his whereabouts.[8] On August 30, 2009, the same TV show discovered Belchior living with his second wife Edna in a small village in San Gregorio de Polanco,Uruguay. In this interview, he denied having disappeared, declaring he was "resting, composing and thinking about life".[9] In 2012, he disappeared again, alongside his wife, from a 4-star hotel inArtigas, Uruguay, leaving unpaid bills and personal objects behind. For years, not even his family was aware of his whereabouts.[10]
