Born João Bibi dos Santos, in the state of Alagoas (Brazil), he learned to play the “pife” with his father at a young age in Arapiraca, the city where he lived as a child. As a young man, he moved to São Paulo in the late 1940s searching for a better life. He worked as a bricklayer, alongside other jobs but never stopped playing his pife. He went on to perform on the radio, TV programmes and in the early '60s recorded his first compacto. He recorded \u003cstrong\u003etwo compactos and ten LPs \u003c\/strong\u003eas a solo artist, besides recording the pife on other artists’ albums. Sadly, in the 1980s, his fame began to wane, and by the 1990s he was almost \u003cstrong\u003ecompletely forgotten.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward to the present day, and due to a \u003cstrong\u003erenewed interest \u003c\/strong\u003ein his music among collectors, DJs and music lovers, his legacy lives on.
