David Antônio Corrêa (5 June 1937 – 10 May 2020) was a Brazilian singer-songwriter of the genres samba, samba-enredo and pagode.
As a singer-songwriter, Corrêa released four studio albums and three extended plays from 1976 to 1991.
At the Rio de Janeiro carnival, Corrêa composed various Samba-enredos for various Samba schools, such as Portela, Acadêmicos do Salgueiro, Unidos de Vila Isabel, Imperatriz Leopoldinense, Estação Primeira de Mangueira, Estácio de Sá and Unidos da Ponte, 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.
On 17 April 2020, Corrêa was run over by a vehicle in Rio de Janeiro, which required him to be hospitalized to have surgery.
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.
