Bráulio Bessa

A poetry maker

Seeing the "verses buzz" from very early, at the age of 14 the boy from Alto Santo, in the interior of Ceara, scribbled in the school notebooks his first verses. Having as a source of inspiration the poetry of Patativa do Assaré, Braulio Bessa also dealt in his own way with affections and life in the hinterland.

In 2012, with the creation of a website, his poetry raised distant flights and, like the songbird, its singing enchanted the whole of Brazil.

Overcoming the mark of 100 million views in his videos, the poet is also welcomed weekly by Brazilian families in the TV program Encontro com Fátima Bernardes, of which he is a Northeastern Culture Consultant and presents a diverse theme under a poetic eye.

Spreading his poetry to the four corners, Braulio is considered one of the greatest activists of northeastern culture in the world.
