Archive material and source history
Orlando de Freitas came from Conceição do Almeida in Bahia, Brazil. He started singing and playing instruments as a child, drawing from the rhythms around him.
In 1964, he recorded "Hei Sempre de Ouvir Cantar Uma Sabiá," a song that connected with Brazilian listeners and became his best-known work. He released several albums in the years that followed, including O Cantar da Sabiá in 1965 and O Cantor do Povo in 1973.
His music touched on Brazilian folk, romantic ballads, and pop, and he worked with musicians like Luiz Gonzaga and Gilberto Gil. Some critics objected to the everyday language in his songs, but his audience appreciated that directness.
