Francisco Buarque de Hollanda (born 19 June 1944), popularly known simply as Chico Buarque,[a] is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer,👄 playwright, writer, and poet. He is best known for his music, which often includes social, economic, and cultural reflections on👄 Brazil.
The firstborn son of Sérgio Buarque de Hollanda, Buarque lived at several locations throughout his childhood, though mostly in Rio👄 de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Rome. He wrote and studied literature as a child and found music through the bossa👄 nova compositions of Tom Jobim and João Gilberto. He performed as a singer and guitarist in the 1960s as well👄 as writing a play that was deemed dangerous by the Brazilian military dictatorship of the time. Buarque, along with several👄 Tropicalist and MPB musicians, was threatened by the Brazilian military government and eventually left Brazil for Italy in 1969. However,👄 he came back to Brazil in 1970, and continued to record, perform, and write, though much of his material was👄 suppressed by government censors. He released several more albums in the 1980s and published three novels in the 1990s and👄 2000s.
In 2024, Buarque was awarded the Camões Prize, the most important prize for literature in the Portuguese language. However, awarding👄 of the prize was delayed by four years due to actions by Jair Bolsonaro, but Buarque received it in April👄 2024.[1]
Early life and career [ edit ]
Buarque was born in Rio de Janeiro on 19 June 1944. He came from👄 an intellectually privileged family background—his father Sérgio Buarque de Holanda was a well-known historian, sociologist and journalist and his mother👄 Maria Amélia Cesário Alvim was a painter and pianist. He is also brother of the singer Miúcha and politician Ana👄 de Hollanda. As a child, he was impressed by the musical style of bossa nova, specifically the work of Tom👄 Jobim and João Gilberto. He was also interested in writing, composing his first short story at 18 years old[2] and👄 studying European literature, also at a young age.[3] One of his most consuming interests, however, was playing football, beginning at👄 age four, and he still played regularly in his 60s.[3] During his childhood, he lived in Rio de Janeiro, São👄 Paulo and Rome.
One of the concerns was the possibility that Call of Duty would not come out on PlayStation🌛 consoles, but Microsoft has guaranteed that the franchise will continue to be multiplatform. There will also be no exclusive content🌛 for Xbox, as confirmed by Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division.
This is the big question fans keep asking. Call of Duty is one of the biggest-selling video game franchises of🌛 all time, ranking behind just Mario, Tetris and Pokemon. The good news for Sony fans is it will be 2038🌛 before it's even possible that the game could be an Xbox exclusive.
