Born with the name Erundi, in Ceara, Brazil,
as a member of the Tabajara tribe, he and his
brother, Andalucio, became the duo Los Indios Tabajares. In 1933 they walked from Ceara around 1000 miles to Rio de
Janeiro, which took about 3 years, and as they
traveled they picked up traditional folk songs. Once in Rio
they were baptized and took the name of the person that had performed the
baptism. He and his brother
were self-taught musicians who had their first public performance in 1945
and after studying music they made an album in 1953. Natalicio wrote
several classical guitar compositions and their concerts often included
music composed by classical composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov and
Chopin. They moved to the
US
and toured the
Americas
and
Europe and then released the hit record
"Maria Elena" which hit the charts at No.5 in the
UK
and No.6 in the
US
in 1963.
