Enrolling in law school, he became an activist, joining the Popular Culture Center of the National Students Union (CPC da UNE), centers where civil society resisted culturally. He also became acquainted with Ed Lincoln and Luís Eça, who were playing at the Plaza nightclub and let him sit in during the band's breaks. It was when he met Valdemar Henrique, composer and folklorist, who worked at the Rádio Roquette Pinto, who opened for him the possibility of presentation in some shows. With the help of his mother, he recorded his first single (as an interpreter, not as a composer), which he put under his arm and offered to all radio stations and recording labels of Rio. Under the pseudonym of Carlos José, he appeared in the most famous radio show of that time, the Programa César de Alencar. Criticizing mass culture, he retired from artistic manifestations, living alone in his apartment in São Paulo, while his works have been constantly re-recorded.Īfter some occasional appearances at the local radio station, he and his family moved to Rio in 1951. Geraldo Vandré was at the peak of his creative impetus and popularity when he was pressed by Brazilian dictatorship in 1968.
