Wanderley Cardoso

Wanderley Cardoso was born in São Paulo and started out singing on children’s talent shows. After recording as a teenager, he resumed his career in 1962 and reached a national audience with Jovem Guarda.

“Juventude Ternura”, from 1966, featured “Meu amor brigou comigo”; the following year, “Doce de coco” became another hit. In the 1970s, he left rock behind and moved to a romantic pop repertoire, recording and performing in the decades that followed.
