Background notes
Archive material and source history
Luizinho Azevedo came up in Madureira, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. He started singing in a church choir and later played tambourine and sang backup with a band called Os Batutas.
His solo career took off in 1969 with a debut album that included 'Lágrimas.' The song's raw delivery connected with listeners and became his signature track. He also recorded 'Presente de Deus' around this time.
Personal troubles, including struggles with addiction and a marijuana possession arrest in the 1970s, complicated his public life and career. He kept recording through the 1970s and 1980s, putting out albums like 'O Rei do Samba-Soul' in 1972 and a later collection called 'Lágrimas: 20 Anos Depois.'
