Emballo

Description

The master of jazz Tenorio Jr., aka Francisco Tenório Júnior, only recorded this one album, "Embalo", originally released on RGE in 1964. Rumor has it that he was arrested and thrown in prison (and possibly even murdered) while on tour with Toquinho and Vinicius de Moraes in Argentina in 1976. He has not been seen since.Shortly after Tenorio Jr.'s disappearance, filmmaker Rogerio Lima produced a short film titled "Balada para Tenorio", which recounts the disappearance with interviews with family and friends - available on YouTube. Júnior played on Gal Costa's classic song "Pontos De Luz", sampled by Kaytranada on "Lite Spots".
