Born in Sao Paulo on July 6th, 1946, Toquinho is probably the most famous Brazilian guitarist of all times.
In 1969 he went to Italy with his friend Chico Buarque and toured all over the country.
But his greatest success began one year later when he joined singer Vinicius De Moraes, with whom he recorded dozens of records throughout the 1970s.
Ever since, the duo's mild and touching bossanova and samba are very well-known worldwide.
