Patricio Teixeira was an important voice of Brazilian national music, especially in the 1920s and 1930s, making an exceptional career as a radioman until the mid-fifties. From that time to his death, at the age of 80 years old, he dedicated his entire professional life exclusively to guitar and singing classes, occupations that guaranteed all financial support he needed. Celebrated by the media while lasted his golden years, the memory of this black man was gradually forgotten over the decades. Radio pioneer, the artist (a singular singer and also a musician) performed in the electronic media, discs and stages a diversity of musical styles, including samba, contributing to its diffusion and popularization. But not only. Patricio was an important role to radio's audience consolidation as well, in the means that he attracted the attention of the listeners. He also helped to boost the radio singer (of popular songs) career, when this kind of artist was synonymous of amateurism. In addition to that, it is important to highlight his performance still in the 1920s in the production and enlargement in cultural meanings of the craft of guitar teacher. The artistic and cultural universe meant a possibility of professional insertion to black musicians but did not avoid hierarchy, tension and racial prejudice, even over those who were well succeeded and famous. Patricio' experience offered more visibility to black people and their cultural identities, opening an agenda for social ascension, respect, artistic recognition and citizenship.
