With Tim Maia, as part of the band Vitória Régia, Paulinho Guitarra experienced one of the most important stages of his career, when he recorded several albums, such as the acclaimed albums from the Tim Maia Racional series.
He is co-author of one of the greatest hits of this phase, “O Caminho do Bem”, included in the soundtrack of the award-winning film City of God (2002), and in the series The Hunter (2020).
