Edson Cordeiro

Edson Cordeiro (born February 9, 1967) is a Brazilian sopranist countertenor and pop and jazz singer.

He began singing at 6 years old when he joined a church choir called "Cordeirinhos do Senhor".

His repertoire ranges from opera and lieder to traditional Brazilian folksongs to 1970s disco music.

It includes covers of Nina Hagen, Janis Joplin, Grace Jones, Prince and Édith Piaf, along with medieval psalms.

As a vocalist, Cordeiro is comparable to Peruvian singer Yma Sumac, who in her prime also had a four-octave range.
