Taiguara Chalar da Silva (9 October 1945 in Montevideo – 14 February 1996 in São Paulo), whose stage name was Taiguara, was a Brazilian singer and songwriter.
Taiguara was one of the most censored Brazilian artists to date, having over 200 songs vetoed throughout his career. Some of his biggest hits were "Universo No Teu Corpo", "Teu Sonho Não Acabou", "Viagem", "Berço de Marcela", "Que as Crianças Cantem Livres", "Hoje", "Amanda", "Carne e Osso", "Geração 70" and "Mudou". Not unlike many MPB artists, Taiguara composed his own music, with the distinction that most of his work was composed on his own, with very few collaborations with other songwriters throughout his career.
