Any dip into the discography of pagoda pop prince Dilsinho will prove he knows his way around a smouldering acoustic guitar-guided groove. Since his emergence as part of Rio de Janeiro-based four-piece Para de Kaô in 2009, the singer—real name Dilson Scher—has lent his pitch-perfect croon to forlorn ballads (“12 Horas”), lively samba rock-outs (“Tamanho PPP”) and Coldplay-like piano stadium singalongs (“Nada Além”), leading to a reputation for soaring emotion. Whatever style he’s dabbling in, the troubadour's crystalline vocal never wavers.
