Lupicínio Rodrigues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lupicínio Rodrigues (1914-09-19–1974-08-27) was a great composer of sambas from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He was the main exponent of a style of samba called Dor-de-Cotovelo. The term, literally "elbow pain", translates to heartbreak. While his own singing was exceedingly charming and unique, he left his compositions to be recorded by many wonderful Brazilian composers. His most famous interpreter, Jamelão, recorded two albums of exclusively Lupicinio's compositions.
