Composer
A.k.a. Francisco José Freire Júnior

Brazilain musician (1881-1956), composer of the first modinha to open the genre to systematic recording, "Luar de Paquetá" (recorded by Baiano), Freire Júnior also wrote and enacted 172 musical plays, including operettas, burlettas, and others, possibly becoming the biggest author of Brazilian musical revues. He wrote more than 125 songs, among them the tango-fado "À Beira-Mar" (lyrics by Hermes Fontes, 1922), the samba carnavalesco "Ai, Cabocla Bonita" (1922), "Ai, Seu Mé" (with Careca, success of the Carnival of 1922), and many others. In 1926, Júnior became the director of the Brazilian Odeon branch, Indústrias Elétricas E Musicais Fábrica Odeon S.A., and was in some way responsible for the launching of Francisco Alves.
