Moreira da Silva

1902 - 2000

Also known as Kid Morengueira, he lived a very poor childhood. At age of 20 started his career as a sambista and composer. Moreira created the famous "samba de breque", a samba that includes dictated sentences which was a landmark this period. Although his fame as a sassy man, in fact he never really acted like that being just a genious and irreverent composer. Birth: Brasil Rio de Janeiro RJ, 31/3/1902
Death: Brasil Rio de Janeiro RJ, 6/6/2000
