Black-and-white portrait of Zezé Di Camargo

Music publishing · Zezé Di Camargo

Every songstarts withsomeone.

Before the stage, the radio and the soap opera, there is a songwriter holding a sheet of paper. ZC Edições was born to look after them — and every song they write.

About us

Zezé Di Camargo wrote songs all of Brazil knows by heart. Before fame, he was the songwriter who heard his own songs on the radio in other people's voices many listeners had no idea who wrote them. ZC Edições exists so that never happens again: a place where every song is registered, protected and taken to whoever is going to sing it.

The journey

From Pirenópolis to all of Brazil

  1. 1962

    Capela do Rio do Peixe, Pirenópolis (Goiás)

  4. 1987

    “Solidão”

    Sung by Leandro & Leonardo, it becomes his first big hit as a songwriter and plays on radio stations across the country — many listeners had no idea who wrote it.

  5. 1991

    “É o Amor”

    Zezé says the idea came while he was thinking of “Negue”, sung by Maria Bethânia, and that the song was finished in about three hours. Released in 1991, it becomes one of the most played songs of the decade.
