Archive material and source history
Francisco Pinto da Fontoura was born in Camaquã, Rio Grande do Sul in 1839. He grew up during the Ragamuffin War, a conflict that influenced his later work. In 1863, he wrote the lyrics to what would become the state anthem, 'Hino Riograndense,' set to a march tempo.
That anthem became his most recognized piece, though he also wrote other compositions like 'Hino a Porto Alegre' and 'Canção do Boi.' He worked as a solo artist without a permanent band, but his music has been performed by various ensembles over time.
