Editor's note

Wanderley Cardoso, the singer who wrote Caminhada

A Brazilian voice from Recife who turned a social ballad into a national song.

For a quick sense of his range, try "Peladinha" or "Renascer." They frame a career that started with a church choir and ended up writing a national song.

In 1965, Cardoso wrote "Caminhada," a ballad that became something of a national anthem in Brazil. It addressed social justice themes that resonated widely, and it launched his career as both a singer and songwriter. His catalog includes songs like "Peladinha" and "Piquenique," and in 1991 his work earned him the Prêmio Sharp for Best Album.

He grew up singing in church choirs in Recife, absorbing samba, bossa nova, and MPB. After "Caminhada" launched him, he followed with albums like "Linha Vermelha" and "Cantor do Povo," often working with musicians like bassist Rubem Dantas. He continued recording into the 1990s with releases such as "Caminhada 30 Anos."
