Eduardo Dusek

Eduardo Dusek (Rio de Janeiro, January 1, 1958) is a Brazilian actor, singer and composer.

He began his artistic career as a pianist plays at fifteen, when he studied at the National School of Music. Later went on to compose their own songs and assembled a band, which was sponsored by the brazilian musician Gilberto Gil.

From 1978 he had some songs recorded by big names of the MPB, as 'As Frenéticas' (samba "Vesuvius"), 'Ney Matogrosso' (the fox "Seu Tipo") and 'Maria Alcina' (the frevo "Folia no Matagal", two years later rewritten by Ney Matogrosso) - all in partnership with Luis Carlos Góis.

His compositions sought to combine satire and humor. In 1980 he participated in the MPB Shell festival of Rede Globo in his underwear singing a song called "Nostradamus", which did not qualify but was known by the public. By this time he recorded his first LP, "Olhar Brasileiro". But success would burst in 1982, when he flirted with the incipient pop-rock, the LP "Cantando no Banheiro" with "Barrados no Baile"(with Luis Carlos Góis)," Cabelos Negros"(with Luiz Antonio de Cássio) and "Rock da Cachorra" (Léo Jaime).

Two years later, he became famous with the LP "Brega & Chique", whose homonymous song was a social satire. In 1986, he released "Dusek Na Sua" with one of his greatest hits "Aventura" and "Eu Velejava em Você," one of the most beautiful songs of MPB, that was recorded by 'Zizi Possi'. In 1989, he returned to the scene with the musical "Shop of Horrors," which acted in the role of the dentist. During the 90s, away from the role of singer, played the character of Captain Gonçalo-Mor in the novel "Xica da Silva", the former Network Headline. He served as director of shows and at the end of the decade, again showed some work as a comedian and singer, one of Carmen Miranda.

During the 90s, he also released a new album, called "Contatos", that didn't sell much compared to his first albums and nowadays is very desirable and seeked by fans, since it doesn't exist in streaming services.

In the year of 2000, for numerology reasons, and also to joke about the wrong pronunciation of his name, he changed it to 'Eduardo Dussek', adding another 's' to it.

In 2015 Dussek revealed that he suffers from Parkinson disease.
