Bio:
Walmir Lima, well into his mid-eighties, has risen to become an éminence grise, a member of Salvador's velha guarda do samba. He is a repository of sambas written across the 20th century, as well as a composer and singer as well, and he still presides over sambas accompanied by singing listener/dancers six decades younger than himself.
His "Ilha de Maré" -- the unoffical anthem of Salvador's yearly Lavagem do Bonfim -- was a huge hit for Alcione.

Brazil has something called "jeitinho", the "little way". In a country where the official way is so often impossible, people have to be creative. Do end runs around problems and powers-that-be.
