Fight in samba

Singer and samba player Germano Mathias died this Wednesday, aged 88. The confirmation came from its producer, Angélica Tobias. According to her, the musician was facing very severe pneumonia, contracted when he was hospitalized to treat anemia.

Professor of samba was, in fact, one of his nicknames, especially because of the peculiar way in which he interpreted sambas, always in a syncopated way, and, as accompaniment, the tapping with the lid of a can of grease, inherited from the shoeshine boys of the Praça da Sé, with whom he lived in the early 1950s.
