Arlindo enfrentava complicações de saúde desde março de 2017, quando sofreu um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) hemorrágico. Desde então, passou por diversas internações e conviveu com sequelas que o afastaram dos palcos.

Considerado um dos maiores nomes do samba brasileiro, Arlindo Domingos da Cruz Filho nasceu no Rio de Janeiro, em 14 de setembro de 1958. Iniciou sua trajetória musical ainda na infância, tocando cavaquinho, e se destacou ao integrar o grupo Fundo de Quintal — referência no chamado “samba de raiz”.

Com mais de 550 composições registradas, Arlindo é autor de sucessos como “O Show Tem Que Continuar”, “Meu Lugar” e “O Que É o Amor”. Ao longo da carreira, firmou parcerias com artistas como Sombrinha e Zeca Pagodinho, tornando-se uma das figuras mais queridas da música nacional.

Arlindo Cruz também manteve uma relação próxima com o Carnaval carioca. Foi autor de sambas-enredo, especialmente para o Império Serrano, escola pela qual nutria grande paixão. Em 2023, mesmo debilitado, protagonizou um dos momentos mais marcantes do Carnaval ao ser homenageado pela agremiação na Marquês de Sapucaí.

A escola prestou uma nova homenagem ao artista em suas redes sociais nesta sexta-feira, destacando seu legado no samba e na cultura brasileira.
