André Filho

The author of several classics from the golden age of Brazilian song, Andre Filho’s works, such as for example “Cidade Maravilhosa,” were recorded by many of the best performers of this period. With Noel Rosa, he composed “Filosofia.” He also acquired success being a vocalist. Filho learned many equipment including violin, violão (classical guitar), mandolin, and piano. In 1929 Henrique de Melo Morais documented “Velho Solar.” The next yr, Carmen Miranda documented “O Meu Amor Tem” and “Quero Casar Com Você,” and Sílvio Caldas documented “Nem Queiras Saber” (with Felácio Silva). Mário Reis documented “Filosofia,” that was created with Noel Rosa. The music was re-recorded in 1975 by Chico Buarque. In 1931, Carmen Miranda documented “Bamboleô” and “Quero só Você,” and, 2 yrs later on, with Mário Reis, “Alô…Alô….” In 1935, Andre Filho had been a well-known composer when Aurora Miranda documented the immortal “Cidade Maravilhosa,” an unofficial anthem of the town of Rio de Janeiro (produced formal in 1960). The music earned an ironic second place in the municipal competition that yr. Vicente Celestino got a big strike with “Cinzas no Coração” in 1941. Like a vocalist, André Filho worked well at the air channels Educadora, Philips, Mayrink Veiga, Tupi, and Guanabara. He documented 22 songs, nearly entirely his personal, from 1933 to 1939, through RCA Victor.
