Antônio Carlos Moreira Pires (July 8, 1947 – April 13, 2020), better known as Moraes Moreira [moˈɾajz muˈɾejɾa], was a Brazilian musician and songwriter.[1] During the 1970s he played guitar and sang in the band Novos Baianos,[2] after which he embarked on a solo career recording 29 albums.[3] Moreira was involved in recording 40 full-length albums with Novos Baianos and Trio Elétrico Dodô e Osmar, and two more albums with guitarist Pepeu Gomes. Moreira was one of the most versatile composers[4] of Brazil, mixing the genres of rock, samba, choro, frevo, baião, and classical.[5]
