He says that he composed the song in the 1950s. And he once presented it on a radio program in Rio Pardo that was led by Teixeirinha. Some time later he heard his music being played by Teixeirinha, but with a different melody. Originally, Detio had composed Tordilho Negro as a waltz. But he never went to court because he had no records of it. Detio says that at the end of 1985 he would do a rodeo in the interior of Santa Cruz do Sul and he had arranged with Teixeirinha to meet and recognize his authorship. But 8 days before the meeting, Teixeirinha passed away. The link to this full article is fixed in the first comment. So look at this curious thing. Originally Tordilho Negro was composed as a waltz, then Teixeirinha recorded it as a tune, a vaneirinha and now it is played and danced as a chamaé. According to Detio, this song is a story he witnessed. The story's narrator was Sebastião dos Anjos, Detio's uncle and a master tamer. One time he was in a bar and heard a man named Afonso Becker, owner of Estância Alto Paredão, offering a black gray to anyone who could ride and tame him. There are a lot of people who listen to the song and have no idea what a black gray is. There are people who think it’s the name of the horse and I’ve even heard “Todinho Negro” sung. Black Gray is the horse's coat. There is this line “It was badly tamed and it became redomão” which upsets a lot of people because Redomão is a term used for horses that are in the taming phase. I know that this verse greatly displeases the people of doma because it would not be the correct term to use, instead of redomão it could be bolido or aporreado. Besides, the issue of poorly tamed horses is quite debatable, because there are poorly tamed horses that you can ride without any problems, they just won't make all the movements. Then he says: “This gaucho, owner of pingo”: Pingo is a synonym for horse, but it should be used to designate the best riding animals or teammates, for racing. There was news that a gaucho / There at the Paredão resort had a dark black horse / It was poorly tamed and became redomão This gaucho owner of the pingo / He challenged any pedestrian He gave the black gray horse as a gift / To anyone who could ride it without falling to the ground I was raised in the grind field trip / I don't believe in hauntings I went to the resort to take on the challenge / There was a rumor among the population
