"INDIOS TABAJARAS"

The two brothers Muçaperê and Erundi, two sons of a large chieftain's family, belonged to the Tabajara, a tribe of indigenous Indians living in the extreme north-east of Brazil near Cariré in the state of Ceará. In their youth they came to a guitar and brought themselves to play their traditional music on it. They decided to travel the 2000 km across the country to the metropolis Rio de Janeiro to try their luck with their musical art. They were by no means discovered there by a theatre agent who managed them and provided them with concert appearances and, from 1943, a record contract as well. They changed their names to common Brazilian names, but became prominent as the Índios Tabajaras.

They toured South America for six years. They then went to Mexico, where they not only performed for a long time, but also looked for guitar teachers to perfect their guitar playing and nevertheless complement their repertoire in the direction of classical music. In the 1950s, appearances followed in North and South America and an important European tour.

At the end of the 50s, however, the two brothers recorded a number of albums in Mexico, some of which were released in the United States via the small label Vox. Her single María Elena was not yet a great success in 1958, but nevertheless always sold. The title was composed in 1933 by the Mexican Lorenzo Barcelata as a tribute to the then wife of President Pontes Gil and had long since been a million-seller and number one hit in the United States in a sung big-band version by Jimmy Dorsey in 1941. In 1962 their label RCA, within which they were under contract to Mexican branch, decided to release their instrumental guitar version in the United States. Surprisingly the single became a great success and reached the top 10 of the US charts. The following release in Europe and other countries again brought several top 10 placings in Great Britain and Australia.[1]

While Los Índios Tabajaras remained a one-hit wonder in the charts in the majority of countries, they were able to place the equally named album María Elena in the top 10 of the album charts in the United States and with Always in My Heart they had a smaller hit afterwards.

At the end of the 1960s they moved from Brazil to the United States and published other albums until the 1980s. Later Antenor Lima withdrew from music. He is now deceased. Nato Lima continued to release music until the 2000s in connection with his Japanese wife Michiko, who is also a guitarist.
