Cadão Volpato

Who is Cadão Volpato?

Carlos Adão "Cadão" Volpato is a Brazilian musician, artist, journalist and writer. He is best known for being the frontman of the now-defunct cult post-punk band Fellini.

He was born in São Paulo in 1956, and graduated in Journalism at the ECA-USP and in social science at the FFLCH-USP. His first job was in 1984, at the magazine Veja as a text reviser. Also in 1984 he founded the band Fellini, alongside Thomas Pappon, Jair Marcos, Ricardo Salvagni and Celso Pucci, also known as "Minho K.".

After Fellini's first break-up in 1990, he founded a side project called Funziona Senza Vapore, with the two original Fellini members plus Stela Campos replacing Pappon. They recorded in 1992 a homonymous album; however, it was only released ten years later.

In 2001, Cadão reformed Fellini and with them released two more albums before its definitive break-up in 2010.

In 2005, he released his first solo album, Tudo que Eu Quero Dizer Tem que Ser no Ouvido.
