Valdir Azevedo
Valdir Azevedo (January 23, 1923 - September 21, 1980) was a choro conductor and performer, considered to be the most successful musician of this genre.[1]
Azevedo was born in Rio de Janeiro. He wrote 130 compositions during his lifetime, including the Brasileirinho, and played the cavaquinho. He is considered by many to be the first Brazilian cavaquinho shredder ever. One of his compositions, Delicado [Baiao], is a Latin American dance that has been arranged for piano.
He died in São Paulo, aged 57.
