Pinduca

Aurino Quirino Gonçalves, better known by the stage name Pinduca, is a Brazilian singer and songwriter, one of the main representatives of the carimbó genre, typical of Pará. His music is distinct from the traditional carimbó pau e corda, and is marked by influences from other rhythms from the Caribbean, Central America and the Guianas, countries bordering or close to the North of Brazil. These influences are reflected both in his compositions and in his "Caribbean" attire, with Pinduca often performing with a large hat, similar to a sombrero, adorned with small tropical ornaments.
