Geraldo VandrΘ was at the peak of his creative impetus and popularity
when he was pressed by Brazilian dictatorship in 1968. Exiled, he
returned silent. Criticizing mass culture, he retired from artistic
manifestations, living alone in his apartment in Sπo Paulo, while his
works have been constantly re-recorded.
After some occasional appearances at the local radio station, he and
his family moved to Rio in 1951. Under the pseudonym of Carlos JosΘ,
he appeared in the most famous radio show of that time, the Programa
CΘsar de Alencar. 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. It
was when he met Valdemar Henrique, composer and folklorist, who worked
at the Rßdio Roquette Pinto, who opened for him the possibility of
presentation in some shows. He also became acquainted with Ed Lincoln
and Luφs Eτa, who were playing at the Plaza nightclub and let him sit
in during the band's breaks. 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.
There he met Carlos Lyra, whose social concerns led him to abandon
bossa nova and find a new venue for expression. Together, they were
the creators of the genre later known as "canτπo de protesto" (protest
song). VandrΘ's first compositions were in partnership with Lyra:
"Quem Quiser Encontrar o Amor" (recorded by Lyra on an 78 rpm in
April 1961, through RGE) and "Aluanda."
In 1962, the Philips LP O Sambalanτo de Carlos Lyra brought "Quem
Quiser Encontrar o Amor," and the song was also included in the movie
Cinco Vezes Favela, produced by the CPC. In the same year, he became
acquainted with Baden Powell, Luφs Roberto, and Vera Brasil, starting
a series of presentations with them at the famous Joπo Sebastiπo Bar
in Sπo Paulo. With singer Ana L·cia, he recorded "Samba em Prel·dio"
(Baden Powell/Vinφcius de Moraes) with great success and which opened
for him the bossa nova doors. His "Pequeno Concerto que Virou Canτπo"
delved even deeper in the bossa waves, but he split with the movement,
deciding to research his roots and produce music coherently with his
origins. The first result was the toada "Canτπo Nordestina"
(Northeastern Song). In those times, the bossa was presented in
informal places and would only gain the formal acknowledgment of
theaters a while after. So, he presented it at the ColΘgio Mackenzie
during a bossa event and the song had an impact. He married Nilce
Tranjan, who gave him strong support in his initial career, in 1964.
His first LP, recorded still in that year (December, through Audio
Fidelity) had "Fica Mal com Deus," but found no success. In the next
year, he was commissioned by moviemaker Roberto Santos to write the
soundtrack to Santos' A Hora e a Vez de Augusto Matraga. In that same
year, he performed at the I FMPB interpreting Chico Buarque' "Sonho de
um Carnaval," classified in sixth place; he also recorded his second
LP, Hora de Lutar. In 1966, he recorded the LP Cinco Anos de Canτπo,
which had a partnership with Baden Powell, "Rosa Flor." Also in that
year, he won first place at the FNMP with the marcha-rancho (written
with Fernando Lona) "Porta-Estandarte," interpreted by Tuca and Airto
Moreira. The victory opened the way for a signed contract with the
Rhodia company, through which he would be financed to tour the
Northeast with the then Trio Novo (Theo de Barros, violπo; Airto
Moreira, percussion; and Heraldo do Monte, Brazilian viola), who, at
the end of the tour, were joined by Hermeto Pascoal, becoming the
Quarteto Novo. Still in 1966, VandrΘ won the II FMPB (TV Record,
Sπo Paulo) with "Disparada" (with Theo de Barros), interpreted by the
Trio Novo, Jair Rodrigues, and Trio Maraiß, tied with "A Banda" (Chico
Buarque). In the same year, he also won second place at the I FIC
(TV Rio, Rio) with "O Cavaleiro" (written with Tuca, who defended it).
He was then so popular that he was commissioned by Sπo Paulo's TV Record
to write and host his own show, Disparada. He also hosted his own other
shows, Canto Geral (after, Canto Permitido) on TV Bandeirantes and
Caminhando (TV Globo). His subsequent participation at two festivals
were unsuccessful: "Ventania" at the III FMPB and "Da Serra, da Terra
e do Mar" at the II FIC. At the same time, his composition "Arueira"
and the frevo "Joπo e Maria" (with Hilton Accioly) made great success.
