In 2016, Brazilian sertanejo and forró singer Mano Walter became an overnight success when his live performance with Marília Mendonça took him from working musician to national treasure. Born José Walter Tenorio Lopes on July 13, 1986, in Quebrangulo, a city in the Brazilian region of Alagoas, he grew up with the ranching life and took up singing at an early age. He went to Palmeira dos Indios for technical schooling and it was there that he began performing. Working with friends who owned a recording studio he put together his first album Cavalo Ciumento in 2006. After working as an engineer, making music on the side and performing regularly, he began to perform on national television, appearing on shows such as Raul Gil and Legendários. In 2016, he recorded his first live show DVD in Maceió, with a special appearance by Marília Mendonça. It was a hit, and the video of "O Que Houve?" from that performance went on to rack up more than 280 million views on his channel over the next three years, hitting nearly 3,000 plays on Brazilian radio. Since then he has released the albums Sem Rótulos (2018) and Ao Vivo Em Sao Paulo (2019), nominated for Best Sertanejo Album at the Latin Grammy Awards. This success was followed by Histórias (2020), Mano Walter Em Casa - Completo (Ao Vivo) (2023), and Do Jeito Que Vocês Gostam Vol. 1 & 2 (2023).
