Background notes
Archive material and source history
Otavio Mesquita de Almeida was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1946. He came up listening to sambistas like Noel Rosa and Cartola, and put out his first album in 1972. His second record, 'É Domingo,' gave him his biggest hit with the title track, a bright samba that became a standard for Sunday listening.
He kept recording through the years, with albums like 'Tropicalismo,' 'Canto de Amor,' and 'Samba in Rio.' Other songs like 'Mãe É a Arte de Saber Amar,' 'Não Aceite Ser Menos,' and 'Orgulho do Orgulhoso' show the range of his writing, from family tributes to pride anthems. He worked with figures like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Gal Costa along the way.
He kept singing through it, and the band behind him changed over time, but the samba stayed at the center.
