Sérgio Roberto Veloso de Oliveira (born Recife, 16 February 1969), known as Siba, is a popular Brazilian folk-rock singer and songwriter.[1] Sergio Veloso, or Siba, founded the band Mestre Ambrósio which was popular in the 1990s. After 2000 he turned to folk music with the band Fuloresta, backed by traditional brass musicians, and then in the late 2000s to experimental and electric music with Avante (2012). In 2015 Siba returned to more political themes with De Baile Solto.[2] His album Coruja Muda was considered one of the 25 best Brazilian albums of the second half of 2019 by the São Paulo Association of Art Critics.[3]

A tuba provides bass lines on Brisa, and is matched against his electric guitar for the stomping Canoa Furada. Siba's urgent, no-nonsense vocals on the title track and alternately delicate and furious guitar work on Qasida make this one of the Brazilian albums of the year."
