Archive material and source history
Robertinho de Recife, known as Robertinho o Rei do Chinelado, came up in the city of Recife, Brazil. He was born there in 1958. The nickname 'Rei do Chinelado' translates to 'King of the Flip-Flops,' which fit his relaxed, carefree style.
In 1988, he released his debut album, 'Sentando Devagar.' The title track became a national sensation, its catchy melody and playful lyrics turning it into a signature song. Other tracks like 'Era Tu' and 'Hoje Eu Tô Solteiro' also became popular. He followed it with albums like 'Baile do Chinelado' in 1991 and 'O Rei Na Sua Área' in 1992.
His music drew from local Brazilian rhythms like forró and frevo. He wasn't a solo act; he performed with a band. In the early 1990s, he faced some legal issues related to drug possession, which affected his public image for a time.
