Editor's note

Carlos Walker, the Rio singer with a sensual samba touch

A Brazilian guitarist whose 1965 song "Pote de Mel" stirred controversy with its lyrics.

For a sense of his style, start with "Pote de Mel" and the breezier "Debaixo do Sol." They frame his sound pretty well.

Walker's music holds a specific place in Brazilian popular song. "Pote de Mel" was his breakout, a track some found too sensual when it came out in 1965. His work with players like drummer Wilson das Neves and keyboardist João Donato gave his records a solid, classic samba-jazz feel, and songs like "Debaixo do Sol" and "Águas de Março" have lasted.

He started in Rio de Janeiro, releasing his debut album in 1965. Walker kept putting out records for decades, from "Samba de Verão" in 1967 to "Brasil Encantado" in 1997, while touring and landing songs in films and TV.
