Archive material and source history
Bianchi do Acordeon was born Manoel Messias de Oliveira in Conceição do Coité, Bahia, in 1922. He started playing accordion professionally in the 1940s, performing at local festivals in Brazil's northeast. People began calling him 'The Poet of the Accordion' for the emotional quality of his playing.
In 1953, he released 'A Oitava Que Chora,' a song about lost love that became his most recognized work. The title translates to 'The Crying Octave,' referring to the accordion's sound. Other songs like 'Destino Rasgado' and 'Morada do Pôr do Sol' followed a similar vein of melancholic forró music.
He recorded several albums including 'Chorando Bajinho' in 1955 and 'Forró do Nordeste' in 1965. His music sometimes faced criticism for being too sad, but he kept playing the way he felt. Bianchi do Acordeon's accordion style remains part of Brazil's regional music tradition.
