Editor's note

Edinho Vilas Boas, a samba voice from Rio

A songwriter who has put out more than twenty records since the early 1980s.

For a good sense of his style, try 'O Melhor de Mim' or 'Pra Sempre Luz.' They're both straightforward samba tracks about daily life.

His songs like 'O Melhor de Mim' and 'Samba e Poesia' stick to samba rhythms and plain lyrics about everyday things. That directness has held up across decades, from the debut album 'Samba e Poesia' in the 1980s to 'Resiliência' in 2016. Even after plagiarism accusations in the mid-1990s, he kept recording with musicians like guitarist Edinho Cruz and percussionist Jorge Aragão.

He started making music in Rio de Janeiro in the early 1980s, with his debut album 'Samba e Poesia.' Over twenty records followed, including 'O Samba Que Não Morre' in 1992 and 'Resiliência' in 2016. The band lineup shifted at times, but the samba foundation stayed.
