Neguinho is considered one of the most important Carnaval samba-enredo singers of all time. Since 1975 Neguinho has been affiliated with samba school Beija-Flor de Nilópolis, in Rio de Janeiro, which became part of his artistic name. In 1976, his samba-enredo Sonhar Com o Rei dá Leão gave him the first title in the carioca Carnaval. Since then, the samba school won 12 parade competitions, making Neguinho da Beija-Flor one of the most popular Carnaval figures of Brazil.
Son of a trumpeter of the famous Orquestra Tabajara, Neguinho started his career in music when he was still a kid. At 10 he won a contest by singing a samba by legendary carioca artist Jamelão. His first album, Vida No Peito, was released in 1980, followed by another 15 albums through 2000, featuring hits such as Os Cinco Bailes da História do Rio and Aquarela Brasileira. In 1991, he won the Sharp Prize as Best Samba Singer. In 2001, he released his first live-recorded CD, 25 Anos de Fé e Raiz, celebrating his 25-year career.
