A Brazilian singer-songwriter who blended samba, bossa nova, and soul into songs about love and life.
For a good sense of his style, try 'Conselho' from the debut or 'Outra Oportunidade.' Both show his easy way with a melody.
Guineto's 1964 debut album had 'Conselho,' a hit that put him on the map. He kept writing songs like 'Caxambu' and 'Insensato Destino' that mixed samba rhythms with soulful touches. You can hear that blend in later tracks like 'Outra Oportunidade' and 'Superman' from his catalog.
He started with the samba group Os Cariocas in Rio in the late 1950s. After 'Conselho' took off in 1964, he kept recording through the decades, leaving behind over a hundred songs.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
