Paulo Abel do Nascimento (1957-1992) was the 15th child of a poor family in
Fortaleza/Brazil. Lack of testosterone prevented his voice from breaking. He
studied composition and conducting in São Paolo, where Roger Cotte
heard his unique voice. Later he was educated in Europe and gave his debut in
1981 in Belgium. He died in Paris of an AIDS related illness.
He sang mainly cantatas and lieder from his home. His voice sounds quite
unique, but not very high, about |
