Sérgio Britto ((:ˈsɛxʒju ˈbritu), born Sérgio de Britto Álvares Affonso(September 18, 1959) is a Brazilian musician, best known as a member of the rock band Titãs, for which he contributes with lead vocals, keyboards and, more recently, the bass guitar. He has also released three solo albums. == Childhood == Sérgio Britto is the only carioca of the group, but left Rio de Janeiro when he was a baby. He lived with his siblings Rui and Gláucia in Brasília when in 1964 the military took over Brazil. Their father, the federal deputy Almino Afonso, head of PTB at the Chamber of Deputies and enemy of the dictatorship had to leave the country in order not to be arrested. One year later, when Sergio's younger brother Fábio was born, they left the country. During his nine years of exile in Chile, he was alphabetized in Castellano. He grew up listening to Beethoven, Chopin and others notable names of the Classical music, which his father would listen to frequently. But until he turned 13, he wouldn't wish he was anything but a painter. But thanks to his sister, who had guitar lessons, he would discover The Beatles' ''Help!'' album, and from there on he would be strongly interested in music. When he was 14, he was back to Brazil and started to have piano lessons. Back at that time, he would listen to Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys and lots of MPB. Meanwhile, he would try to play his sister's guitar. In São Paulo, he studied at Colégio Equipe. While the others Titãs members took part of festivals and shows, he would compose alone at home or read the texts of Torquato Neto. Those texts helped Britto when composing songs like "Go Back", a hit that would appear in Titãs' debut album. Simultaneously, he would compose the song "Os Olhos do Sol", which was recorded only in 2000, when Britto released his first solo album. At Equipe, he met Arnaldo Antunes and they started to co-write songs. When Titãs unofficially met, in 1981, Britto made his debut in a band. He once started studying Philosophy at University of São Paulo, but left the course before its end to focus on the music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sérgio Britto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
