- Lobão
Lobão, born João Luiz Woerdenbag Filho (
Rio de Janeiro ,October 11 1957 ) is aBrazil ian rock and MPBsinger . He also plays the drums andguitar .Lobão is better known in Brazil for his 1980s hits, specially "Me Chama". His most famous album is "Ronaldo Foi Pra Guerra".
Lobão has a reputation for having little inhibition in expressing his opinions bluntly and publicly criticising fellow musicians, which led to a notable number of controversies and enmities.
His best-known recent controversy is a break-up with the record industry. Claiming that all major labels are conspiring to deceive their own artists (by underreporting sales and using piracy as a scapegoat), he set an independent distribution plan to sell music CDs on newsstands and the Internet.
Thus far, this endeavor has been very successful: his recent albums sold well and were critically acclaimed. He also created a magazine, Outracoisa [http://www.revistaoutracoisa.com.br/] (literally: "Somethingelse" or "Anotherthing"), which comes bundled with a music CD of independent artists.
