Biography
Lindomar Castilho (Lindomar Cabral; January 21, 1940 â December 20, 2025) was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist from Goiás who moved from an early path in law studies into professional music after being encouraged to record by Copacabana label music director Diogo Mulero, who heard him singing at a gathering hosted by writer-composer Bariani Ortêncio. He released his first album, Canções Que Não se Esquecem, in 1964 and built a prolific catalog through the 1960s and 1970s focused on boleros and romantic samba-canção, becoming one of Brazilâs biggest record sellers of that decade. His best-known recordings included the baião âChamarada,â the bolero âVocê à Doida Demais,â and songs such as âEu Vou Rifar Meu Coração,â titles that anchored albums like Eu Vou Rifar Meu Coração (1973) and Chamarada (1977), alongside a steady run of LPs that were also issued for Brazilian communities abroad. His public narrative changed sharply in 1981 when he shot and killed singer Eliane de Grammont, from whom he was legally separated; he was later convicted and sentenced to prison, and while incarcerated he recorded Muralhas da Solidão. After regaining freedom in the mid-1990s, he briefly returned to releasing music, with his last widely cited full-length being Lindomar Castilho Ao Vivo (2000), before withdrawing from public life; he died in Goiânia in 2025.
