Arlindo Cruz - Quem gosta de mim

It's Christmas, time for friendship and love. Put them all together.

Here I go, once again trading places and order. Then you start to watch the show from its end. It was recorded in November 2008, in Credicard Hall (São Paulo, Brazil). To celebrate his career as a singer and composer, Arlindo Cruz gather up the Best of the Best Samba celebrities in a DVD/CD recorded in São Paulo. Cruz started playing the "cavaquinho" instrument when he was seven; it was his father's gift for life. Since then, around 30 years passed by as a music professional and he became one of the references of the contemporary Samba. Arlindo Cruz has got more than 550 songs recorded  by different artists.

Em meados de 2009, é lançado o DVD e CD duplo “Arlindo Cruz MTV Ao Vivo” (Deckdisc), além da celebração de uma obra, a consagração, como cantor, desse compositor que discretamente mudou a cara do samba nas últimas décadas. E mudou a cara preservando a essência, recolocando o samba no rádio, popularizando as rodas de samba, incentivando a rapaziada mais nova a ficar no samba, abrindo diálogos com a chamada MPB e com outros gêneros (como o hip hop, de Marcelo D2), compondo muito e bonito para tudo quanto é cantor ou grupo novo, cultivando todos os gêneros, do partido-alto ao samba-enredo, do samba romântico ao de fundo social.
