Pretinho da Serrinha

**Pretinho da Serrinha** is a vibrant Brazilian samba and pagode artist deeply rooted in Rio de Janeiro’s musical traditions. Known for his percussive flair and smooth vocals, he’s a key figure in keeping the spirit of classic samba alive while blending modern grooves. As a longtime member of the legendary group Fundo de Quintal, he helped shape the “samba de raiz” sound, often playing the tantan (a bass drum central to the genre’s rhythm). His solo work, like the empowering anthem *I’m Black* and the romantic *Mais Um Samba de Amor pra Maria*, showcases his knack for weaving social themes and heartfelt storytelling into danceable beats.

A collaborator at heart, Pretinho’s recent projects include the lively live album *A Doida (Ao Vivo)* and team-ups with artists like Moska (*Zoombido*), proving he’s still a dynamic force in Brazil’s music scene. Tracks like *Poder pra Nossa Gente* highlight his commitment to celebrating Afro-Brazilian culture and community resilience, all delivered with the laid-back charm that’s made him a beloved voice in samba for decades.
