Bio:
That kid dancing at the end of Black Orpheus, with the guitar in his arms? That was Carlinhos Pandeiro de Ouro! (see the video clip here)
He was born Carlos de Oliveira -- literally born to samba -- into the Mangueira samba school. He participated in a nationwide pandeiro contest in 1966, winning it, and as his prize was awarded two pandeiros of 300 grams of gold. One went to Mangueira and the other is still with him.
