He was the fourth child of seven born to pianist Malcela Pereira (a native Argentine of the Toba people), and Jorge Alemán Moreira, who played guitar in a folk quartet, with his own children, Carlos, Jorgelina and Juan.
At the age of six, he joined the family ensemble, by then the "Moreira Sextet", and played the cavaquinho, a Brazilian instrument before taking up the guitar.
