| | Brazilian singer born December 3, 1926 in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte - died 2010.
He was a career officer at the Brazilian Air Force, but a car accident forced him into an earlier retirement.
He started singing at the Rádio Poty, in his home town and soon was elected "The Star" of that radio.
In 1951 he formed a group with Chico Elion (acoustic guitar) and João Juvanklin (accordion), the Trio Acaiaca.
From 1955 to 1957 they recorded a few 78 rpm's but it was in 1960, when he was living in São Paulo that he really went into the music world. There he sang on several records for CBS, Continental and Columbia.
In 1961 he released his first solo LP, "Em Tudo Existe Amor".
In 1962, with Silvana, he recorded "Ouvindo-te Com Amor", which was well accepted by the public and from then on, both singers went on their solo careers.
