Padeirinho

*1927 BR
Composer
A.k.a. Osvaldo Vitalino de Oliveira

Brazilian writer, composer of samba music and lyricist. Born March 5, 1927, in Laranjeiras, Rio de Janeiro, dies January 1987 Also known as Padeirinho da Mangueira. He earned the nickname “padeirinho” because his father was a padeiro – a baker. He moved with his father to the samba stronghold of Morro da Mangueira when he was ten, and began to compose around age thirteen. Padeirinho never had the chance to go to school and felt ashamed of his illiteracy. Through samba — finding rhymes and constructing lyrics — he taught himself to read and write. He began singing his sambas in canteens around the community for whoever would listen.
