One of the most expressive representatives of Brazilian music. Although he had no formal musical training, he began composing in his teens. At the age of sixteen, Lamartine left school to work as an office-boy. In his spare time, he listened to music and created his own songs. In the 1930s, the popularity of his songs earned him the title ‘King of Carnival’. He wrote nearly 150 songs in different
