Background notes
Archive material and source history
Canhoto e Seu Regional was a Brazilian ensemble from Rio de Janeiro led by vocalist Oswaldo Santiago de Souza, who went by the name Canhoto. They played samba and choro, and in 1955 recorded their most famous song, "Odeon." That track became a national hit, with lyrics that referenced the Odeon Cinema in Rio.
Their discography included albums like "Favela" from 1957 and "A Bossa do Canhoto" from 1963. The band's lineup changed over time, with musicians like Ciro Pereira on cavaquinho and Dino Da Costa on pandeiro. They recorded through the 1950s and into the 1960s.
Canhoto struggled with alcohol addiction and depression, which affected the group's stability. Their lyrics sometimes touched on social issues like poverty, which drew criticism from some listeners at the time.
