At the Rio de Janeiro carnival, Corrêa composed various Samba-enredos for various Samba schools, such as Portela,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Acadêmicos do Salgueiro,[16] Unidos de Vila Isabel,[17][18] Imperatriz Leopoldinense,[19] Estação Primeira de Mangueira,[20] Estácio de Sá[21] and Unidos da Ponte,[22] over his 19 years samba-enredo composer career. His most successful year was 1980, in which Portela, the school he was representing and composed the samba-enredo for, won the Rio Carnival samba school parade.[23]

Death

On 17 April 2020, Corrêa was run over by a vehicle in Rio de Janeiro, which required him to be hospitalized to have surgery.[24]

Less than a month after being run over, Corrêa died in Rio de Janeiro after following kidney failure brought on by COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[23]
