Former Fazenda Flora Cruz updated this Thursday (8) the health status of her father, Arlindo Cruz, who is hospitalized in Rio de Janeiro, treating pneumonia. The samba singer lives with the after-effects of a stroke he suffered in 2017. Even so, she highlights the artist's will to live.
“ My father is fine, stable. He really wants to live. Arlindão really wants to live. So, even when we start to lose faith, he shows us that he is capable, that he is there, that he wants this, that he wants to live with us. So, it was more than a scare. My father has been bedridden for 8 years, so every now and then, we get a scare. It was pneumonia, too much time lying down, right? ” she explained in an interview with Quem.
We believe that in 10 days, a week at the most, he will be going home...
Flora also revealed that Arlindo Cruz is already expected to be discharged from hospital: “ But we are already starting to see him returning home. We believe that in 10 days, a week at the most, he will be going home and we have a lot of faith, a lot of love ”, she said, also thanking:
“ And I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your affection, because during this time with Arlindão hospitalized again, we received so much love again, so much affection, so many prayers, and that is what strengthens us. If he is alive and we are standing, it is because of this love, these prayers, this affection, ” he said.
In an interview, Flora also spoke about opening doors to stop being recognized only as Arlindo Cruz's daughter: “ These are attempts to open doors, because it is still a time of migration. Arlindo's daughter is now a former Fazenda employee, and people are starting to recognize me in the fashion industry as well, since I have a degree in Fashion, I graduated at the end of last year, before Fazenda . So, people are starting to recognize me in this place. I always work a lot during Carnival, because samba is my life, so I have a Flora na Folia project, I have a project on the social network where I work with the fitting rooms, where I represent big brands, small plus size brands and mainly black people ”, she explained about writing her own story.
“ I want to be recognized forever as Arlindo’s daughter, because it is my greatest pride, it is my greatest honor to be his daughter. If you want to make me happy, you praise me by saying that I look just like my father. But it goes beyond that, right? Understanding that Arlindo’s daughter is now a woman, a mother, a black person, a fat person, an imposing person, a person who is educated, has a profession, is a businesswoman , ” she concluded.

Samba lost one of its greatest references this Friday (8): Arlindo Cruz passed away at the age of 66 in Rio de Janeiro. Recognized for his vast work with 795 registered compositions, the samba singer marked generations with hits such as “Saudade Louca” and “Boto Meu Povo na Rua” . Born in Madureira, the birthplace of Rio samba, Arlindo was also a passionate Flamengo fan.
His retirement from the stage occurred after suffering a stroke in 2017, which impacted his career and health. Family members confirmed his death, without disclosing the official cause, but emphasized the artist's cultural legacy and his love for soccer, especially for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved). The wake will be open to the Rio de Janeiro community.
The son of Arlindão, who had meetings with samba artists like Candeia at home, Arlindo Cruz immersed himself in the musical world from an early age. At 17, he began his professional career as a cavaquinho player on Candeia's 1975 album "Roda de Samba." Over time, he became known for his mastery of the banjo, an instrument he helped popularize in samba and which became his trademark.
A central figure in the founding of the Cacique de Ramos samba circle, the musician rubbed shoulders with greats such as Zeca Pagodinho and Jorge Aragão. With Fundo de Quintal, a legendary samba group, he recorded 10 albums that helped cement the genre . From the 1990s onward, he developed a solo career with successful albums such as "Arlindinho" (1993) and important collaborations with producer Sombrinha.
Madureira, a neighborhood that forged its cultural and musical identity, was the setting for compositions that celebrated everyday life, street smarts, and the richness of Rio's samba. A strong connection to Flamengo was present in his daily life: Arlindo frequented the Maracanã stadium, participated in club events, and received tributes on special occasions , cementing his status as a Flamengo icon.

Singer Milton Nascimento and record label Sony Music filed a lawsuit against Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, alleging the improper use of the song "Clube da Esquina nº 2". The work, written by Milton, Lô Borges and Márcio Borges , was allegedly used without authorization in a video posted on the club's social media in January 2025, during the announcement of Gabigol's signing from Flamengo.
According to information published by the newspaper O Globo, the video was produced and released by Cruzeiro without the proper authorization of the artists involved in the song's creation . Sony Music , which represents the copyright of the work, is seeking compensation for material damages, while Milton Nascimento and the Borges brothers are seeking compensation for moral damages.
The court order stipulates a sum of R$50,000 for each of the songwriters involved . Despite the good relationship between the artist and the Minas Gerais club in the recent past, the lawsuit remains ongoing due to the dispute between the parties.
In 2022, after announcing his retirement from the stage at the age of 80, Milton Nascimento was honored by Cruzeiro at a concert held at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte. On the occasion, the singer received a personalized jersey from the team and a letter describing him as " Cruzeiro's international ambassador ."
The lawsuit highlights the importance of respecting copyright when using musical works, especially in advertising materials and highly visible social media content . Despite the history of tributes, the composers claim that the lack of formal consent for the use of the song violates their rights and compromises the recognition of the intellectual property involved.
