He was a percussionist since his childhood and soon he entered into a carnavalesco block, where one of the components took him to the Radio Club of Brazil, in 1950. From there, he started to act as composer, instrumentalist and singer, recording his first compact in 1969 and the first LP six years later.
He was considered the "ambassador" of the Favelas ( Brazilian Shanty Towns ). He was the singer of the Malandragem.
Bezerra was knowledgeable about life in the favelas, and the songs he sang are filled with slang terms having to do with drug dealing, the law, etc., and are often humorous. Later in life, not long before his passing, Bezerra gave up this life and became an evangelical Christian.

Se Não Fosse o Samba
Bezerra da Silva Lyrics
O Rei do Côco Oh, ninguém sabe como é que ele faz pra enganar…
Safado é Safado Mesmo Aí, o senhor Você que tá me ouvindo Se você não gostar É…
Se Não Fosse O Samba E se não fosse o samba Quem sabe hoje em dia…
