Peninha, whose real name is Aroldo Alves Sobrinho, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter renowned for his romantic ballads and samba-infused pop melodies. Born on July 17, 1953, in Santo Antônio de Posse, São Paulo, he first garnered national fame in the late 1970s and early 1980s with hits like "Sonhos" and "Sozinho" – the latter achieving international success when it was later covered by Caetano Veloso and further by numerous other artists.

Throughout his career, Peninha has been celebrated for his talent in crafting poignant lyrics and memorable tunes, a skill which has enabled him to create a prolific discography and to collaborate with some of Brazil's biggest names in music. His more recent releases, such as "Bolsa Família," "Ponto G," and "Amigos de Bar," continue to showcase his versatility and his ability to connect with audiences through themes of love, friendship, and humor. With his music, Peninha has carved a unique niche in the Brazilian music scene, bridging the gap between popular music and the more traditional samba and bossa nova genres, celebrating the rich tapestry of Brazil's cultural heritage in his songs. His enduring influence and continued contributions to Brazilian music make Peninha an iconic figure for both old and new generations of listeners.
