Walmir Lima is within giant steps of artists around the planet, in reach of everybody everywhere per the same seemingly miraculous small-world principle which dictates that there are between most human beings on earth 6 or fewer degrees of separation...
...inside a project conceived and built in the fertile, fecund and atavistic ground zero of Bahia initially for the discoverability of this singular region's dispossessed genius.

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.
