A sertanejo singer and accordionist whose 2011 hit became a global dance-floor anthem.
Teló's 2011 single Ai Se Eu Te Pego turned into a worldwide phenomenon, topping charts in over 20 countries and selling millions. It defined a moment for Brazilian pop abroad, even as he kept releasing albums like Bem Sertanejo in 2019. Songs like Sonhos e Planos show he's built a catalog beyond that one smash.
He started playing accordion young, formed his first band at 13, and joined Grupo Tradição in 2000. After Ai Se Eu Te Pego blew up, he kept putting out records, facing some controversies along the way but staying a major figure in Brazil.
If you only know one Teló song, it's Ai Se Eu Te Pego. For something quieter, try Sonhos e Planos.
