Encyclopedia
Wilson Simonal de Castro, was a Brazil
ian singer, born in Rio de Janeiro on February 26, 1939. He also died in Rio de Janeiro on June 25, 2000. He was a singer of a great success in the 1960s and in the first two years of 1970 decade. He was married and had two sons: Wilson Simoninha and Max de Castro both are artists. He also had a daughter, named Patricia.
A great controversy in his life occurred in the beginning of the 1970s, a troubled period in the Brazilian politics. At that time, he was accused of helping the military government by denouncing fellow artists who were involved in political left-wing movements. Partly because of these accusations, his career started to fade away at that time. Until today, these accusations are contested - some argue that the actual reasons for the campaign against his name were political divergence and racism.
