Her son, the singer Luiz Antônio Pereira dos Santos, passed away last Sunday in Buzios, aged 62.

Radamés Gnattali was a pianist, composer and an arranger.
Sigh. . . .

“Radamés Gnattali (27 January 1906 – 3 February 1988) was a Brazilian composer of both classical and popular music, as well as a conductor, orchestrator, and arranger.”
Doubly sad for this stricken family. Radames Gnattali’s piquant ouani oieces, and those of his compatriot Francesco Mignone, are recorded by Marc-Andre Hamelin. Radames Gnattali had a sister named Aida.
