Background notes
Archive material and source history
Valter Braga was born in Rio de Janeiro and started singing in local bars and clubs. In the mid-1970s he joined the group Os Cariocas, where people began noticing his voice.
His 1977 solo album 'Meu Velho' gave him a national hit with the title track, a song about his father that connected with listeners. The straightforward ballad 'Tatarana' also became part of his repertoire.
Some critics found his vocal style too sentimental, and there were occasional questions about political readings of his lyrics. He kept recording after that initial success, but 'Meu Velho' remained what most people knew him for.
