Arlindo Cruz
Arlindo Cruz is a Brazilian samba legend whose smooth vocals and mastery of the cavaquinho (a small Brazilian guitar) have made him a cornerstone of Rio de Janeiro’s pagode scene. Emerging in the 1980s as part of influential groups like Grupo Semente and Fundo de Quintal, Cruz helped shape the modern sound of samba with his rhythmic innovation and soulful lyricism. His recent releases – like the live energy of *Policia e Bandido (Tapes Perdidas)* or the star-studded collabs *Maneiras* (featuring Zeca Pagodinho and Marcelo D2) and *Maltratar, Não é Direito* with Maria Rita – prove he’s still pushing the genre forward while staying true to its roots. Whether dropping nostalgic gems (*Lembranças e Escolhas*) or celebrating samba’s enduring spirit (*Herança Popular*), Cruz’s music feels like a backyard roda de samba: warm, communal, and packed with infectious grooves.
