One of the best samba pianists of the Golden Age of Brazilian Song, Mário Travassos de Araújo wrote several excellent compositions which were recorded by many of the best singers of the period, like Luís Barbosa, Mário Reis, and others. His samba "Palavra Doce," written in 1936, was interpreted by Mário Reis on the LP Mário Reis Canta Suas Criações em Hi-Fi, in his 1960 return. ~ Alvaro Neder, Rovi
