Paulo Soledade

The composer Paulo Soledade had success using the marcha “Estrela do Mar” (written with Marino Pinto), recorded by Dalva de Oliveira; the marcha-rancho “Estão Voltando as Flores,” documented by Helena de Lima; “Insensato Coração” (created with Antônio Maria); “Já é Noite” (created with Fernando Lobo); “Sonho Desfeito” (created with Tom Jobim); “Poema dos Olhos da Amada,” “O Pato,” and “São Francisco” (all created with Vinícius de Moraes); and “Deixa o Velho Trabalhar” and “Calúnia” (both created with Marino Pinto). He also opened up, in 1961, the Zum-Zum golf club (Rio), which became a significant place for the bossa nova; it had been right now there that Aloysio de Oliveira offered his productions and where performers like Silvinha Telles and Lennie Dale performed frequently, the Quarteto em Cy having debuted right now there. Since his child years, Soledade was associated with music, his professional debut arrived in the ’30s was as an acting professional, though. Having founded in Rio de Janeiro the “Clube dos Cafajestes,” several bohemians which became popular in the 1940s, he published for the group “Hino dos Cafajestes.” “Zum-Zum” (created with Fernando Lobo) can be linked to the golf club, being truly a homage to 1 of its users, the commander Carlos Eduardo de Oliveira, who passed away in an air flow crash. The structure was documented by Dalva de Oliveira, popular in the Carnival of 1951 and Soledade’s 1st documented music. In the same yr, Soledade experienced another strike with “Calúnia” (created with Marino Pinto), also documented by Dalva de Oliveira. Within the next yr, he had achievement using the marcha “Estrela perform Mar” (created with Marino Pinto), once again in Oliveira’s rendition. Around the time of foundation from the Zum-Zum, in 1961, Soledade arrived using the marcha-rancho “Estão Voltando as Flores,” which became an anthem from the Carioca evenings. Soledade also published the music for poems by Vinícius de Moraes, like “São Francisco” and “Poema dos Olhos da Amada,” and staged the musical Um Vagabundo Toca em Surdina (created with Edu da Gaita and Grande Otelo). Soledade was the first ever to design a storyline also to connect sketches and tunes with continuity inside the musical method, such as Coisas e Graças da Bahia (created with Dorival Caymmi and Ângela Maria). With Carlos Machado, he arranged several membership shows, having acquired much achievement with Feitiço da Vila, where Sílvio Caldas and Elizete Cardoso interpreted music by Noel Rosa. In 1968, his “Fantasia de Arlequim” (created with Augusto Melo Pinto), documented by Marlene, was honored in the Carnival music competition organized with the Museu da Imagem e perform Som (Audio and Picture Museum). Soledade was paid tribute in 1990, in the O Som perform Meio-Dia project.
