Bio:
Dona Dalva de Cachoeira (Dalva Damiana de Freitas), born in 1927, went to work at 14 years of age in the Fábrica de Charutos Suerdieck (Suerdieck Cigar Factory) in Cachoeira.
The cigars were rolled on small wooden pallets, and Dalva ("Dona" is a term of respect used for older women) organized a group of her co-workers to sing and play the rhythms of samba-de-roda on these pallets for a local festival. This was the beginning of Samba de Roda Suerdieck, still fronted by Dona Dalva some 70 years later!
