Biography

Jorge Antônio Santos da Silva, better known as Tony Salles, is a Brazilian pagode/axé singer from Salvador (with deep ties to the Periperi neighborhood) whose career began on the Bahia circuit before he became a nationally recognized Carnaval frontman. After an early stint with the group Cafuné, he gained broader visibility as a vocalist in É o Tchan and later sang with Raghatoni, sharpening a style built for trio elétrico energy and call-and-response hooks. In 2014 Tony Salles took over as the lead singer of Parangolé, stepping into a band that had already hit mainstream Brazil and then spending a decade keeping it at the center of Bahia’s party calendar, including the 2024 Carnaval single “Perna Bamba” with Léo Santana. In July 2024 he announced he was leaving Parangolé to pursue a solo career, launching that phase with the album A Minha História (2024), which mixed new songs with nods to earlier eras and included “Vetinha” with Henry Freitas as one of its key tracks. He opened his solo touring run with a free hometown show in Periperi in December 2024, then made his official solo Carnaval debut on Salvador’s major circuits in 2025. In late 2025 he released “Panamera” (2025), and in January 2026 he expanded that momentum with the album O Verão do Pai (2026), positioning “Panamera” as his flagship song for Carnaval 2026 while continuing to anchor his sound in pagode swing, axé punch, and crowd-first refrains.
