Archive material and source history
Mano Clayton came up in Rio de Janeiro and put out his first album, 'Poemas de Amor,' in 1983. The title track became a well-known ballad. He followed it with albums like 'Canções de Amor e Vida' in 1985 and 'Raízes' in 1987, which leaned into samba and MPB sounds. His band often included musicians like Jorge Aragão on bass and Luizão Maia on drums.
His songs, including 'A Dor da Saudade' and 'Cinco contra um,' tended to work with straightforward, sometimes romantic or socially pointed lyrics. He kept recording through the 1990s and into the 2000s, with a live album in 2000 and a compilation marking 25 years in 2008.
