Elomar

Elomar (born December 21, 1937) is a Brazilian writer, singer and composer. He wrote a very large amount of music, including works for Opera and vocal works. His music was influenced by both Brazilian folk music from the northeast region of Brazil and by Medieval music from Europe.Recluso e 'anti-imagético', Elomar faz concertos neste fim de semana, O Globo (in portuguese)Rádio USP destaca a obra do cantor e compositor Elomar, Programa “Olhar Brasileiro” mostra as sofisticadas composições do artista baiano , University of São Paulo (in portuguese)

Leomar brings to his songs the regional aspects of the sub-regions of the Northeast Region of Brazil. His use of language closely follows the dialect of  inhabitants of the sertão, employing regional terms and variations of words, as well as borrowing chivalric romances traditions and customs.MELLO, Elomar Figueira; CUNHA, João Paulo.
