Documentary reveals struggles, victories and the artist's dimensions
Born Aderaldo Ferreira de Araújo, in June 1878, the sudden poet Cego Aderaldo was not only the greatest name in sung and improvised poetry in Brazil, but a myth. His work influenced popular music and Brazilian arts in the 50s and 60s.
Blind Aderaldo discovered the rhymes in Quixadá, in the interior of Ceará, shortly after losing his sight in an accident. When his mother died, Aderaldo decided to travel through the northeastern hinterland and spread his poetry. In 1914, he competed in a rhyming duel with Zé Pretinho, a well-known suddentist from Piauí. The famous victory would earn him prestige for the rest of his life.
Despite never having been married, Cego Aderaldo adopted and raised 26 children. He gave them all education and profession. Innovative and creative, he was a cinema exhibitor in the 1930s and took his singing to the great capitals, where he was hailed as a character at the level of Padre Cícero and Lampião.
