Editor's note

Waguinho, the samba singer from Rio's bars

A voice for social themes and spiritual figures in Brazilian pagode.

For a quick sense of his style, try 'São Jorge Guerreiro' or 'Beth Carvalho, a Madrinha do Samba.' They show his mix of hitmaking and deep samba respect.

Waguinho's 1992 hit 'São Jorge Guerreiro' brought him out of local bars and into wider Brazilian music. He often sings about social justice and faith, like in 'A Herança Lusitana' and the long-titled 'Bem Aventurados Sejam Os Perseguidos Pela Justiça Dos Homens. Porque É Deles o Reino Dos Céus.' His work with artists like Beth Carvalho, who appears in his song 'Beth Carvalho, a Madrinha do Samba,' roots him in samba tradition.

He started singing samba and pagode in Rio de Janeiro bars. The album 'São Jorge Guerreiro' in 1992 got him noticed, and he kept putting out records like 'O Santo Guerreiro' in 1994 and 'Paz de Ogum' in 1999. He also recorded for samba schools, including 'Unidos de Bangu 2015.'
