Bio:
A sambista who started his career in Zicartola, Cartola's club in the 1960s, his payment being bus fare home, and then back for the next time he'd play.
Paulinho had been adopted by the composers of the Portela samba school after having been taken to meet them by Hermínio Bello de Carvalho, who recognized Paulinho as the son of choroão (choro player) César Faria when he got to the window of the bank where he'd been standing in line.
It was Paulinho's first job. His father hadn't wanted Paulinho to work as a professional musician, considering the work too insecure. Later Paulinho would write a beautiful song about this, 14 anos (14 Years Old).
Paulinho went on to become a magnificent sambista and chorão, composing many, many beautiful sambas. He also has the voice of an angel. And in public anyway, a temperament to match.
