NEW YORK 2009

00:01:57,796 --> 00:02:00,671
STRAND BOOKSTORE

3
00:02:04,671 --> 00:02:07,088
TODAY AT 6:00 PM JEFF HARRIS PRESENTS THE PIANIST SHOT

4
00:02:07,088 --> 00:02:08,921
It sounds good? Yeah?

5
00:02:09,255 --> 00:02:12,171
Well, let's get started.

6
00:02:12,171 --> 00:02:15,588
I present them to Jeff. Jeff Harris.

7
00:02:15,588 --> 00:02:17,046
- Hello. - Author of the book

8
00:02:17,046 --> 00:02:18,755
that we are going to present tonight.

9
00:02:18,921 --> 00:02:21,005
Well, like many of you,

10
00:02:21,005 --> 00:02:23,796
I read Jeff's article in The New Yorker

11
00:02:23,796 --> 00:02:27,296
about the bossa nova fever in the 50s,

12
00:02:27,463 --> 00:02:30,171
and I liked it so much...

13
00:02:30,171 --> 00:02:33,755
- Thank you so much. - ...that I was left wanting more,

14
00:02:33,755 --> 00:02:37,755
so I asked Jeff for something else.

15
00:02:37,921 --> 00:02:42,380
I encouraged him to write a book about that magical music.

16
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:46,255
that captivated the world and, above all, many of us

17
00:02:46,255 --> 00:02:47,546
here in the United States.

18
00:02:47,713 --> 00:02:50,005
Well, that was the initial idea. - Yeah...

19
00:02:50,005 --> 00:02:52,005
And it seemed quite simple.

20
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:57,213
However, the story became complicated, let's put it that way.

21
00:02:57,213 --> 00:02:59,963
- And so much. - And in my opinion, for the better.

22
00:03:00,130 --> 00:03:01,963
Well, I could go on talking,

23
00:03:01,963 --> 00:03:05,171
but I prefer that Jeff tell you everything.

24
00:03:05,171 --> 00:03:07,213
So, without further ado...

25
00:03:07,213 --> 00:03:08,380
Maestro.

26
00:03:09,505 --> 00:03:11,963
Hello. Where do I begin...?

27
00:03:11,963 --> 00:03:15,713
Well, logically, upon receiving Jessica's offer,

28
00:03:15,713 --> 00:03:18,755
I accepted without thinking twice,

29
00:03:19,255 --> 00:03:21,463
above all, because it included

30
00:03:21,463 --> 00:03:24,046
three trips to Rio de Janeiro.

31
00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:28,338
It was a unique opportunity to spend time listening to music,

32
00:03:28,338 --> 00:03:31,546
something I love to do, meet with musicians

33
00:03:31,546 --> 00:03:35,421
and just walk around my favorite city.

34
00:03:35,421 --> 00:03:39,380
- River. - Could not even use

35
00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:41,546
the return ticket and stay there for a while.

36
00:03:41,546 --> 00:03:42,713
Genial.

37
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:48,588
Well, as soon as my article was published in The New Yorker,

38
00:03:48,588 --> 00:03:52,713
my mailbox started to fill up with packages

39
00:03:52,713 --> 00:03:55,338
of records of all types of music,

40
00:03:55,338 --> 00:03:58,505
not only Brazilian, but from all over the world.

41
00:03:58,505 --> 00:04:00,921
I already take them. Thank you.

42
00:04:01,796 --> 00:04:05,046
There were five days left before I went to Rio,

43
00:04:05,588 --> 00:04:09,088
so I locked myself in the house to catch up and listen to music.

44
00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:11,213
One day,

45
00:04:11,213 --> 00:04:16,088
a piano solo on a recording from the '60s caught my attention.

46
00:04:23,796 --> 00:04:25,630
I consulted the album notes

47
00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:30,213
and I saw a name that until then was unknown to me:

48
00:04:30,380 --> 00:04:31,963
Tenório Junior.

49
00:04:37,421 --> 00:04:39,005
I wanted to know who that guy was,

50
00:04:39,005 --> 00:04:41,463
that pianist I had never heard of.

51
00:04:41,463 --> 00:04:42,755
What else had he done?

52
00:04:43,505 --> 00:04:44,796
What was he doing now?

53
00:04:45,546 --> 00:04:50,130
But apparently he hadn't done anything in 30 years.

54
00:04:50,713 --> 00:04:53,046
I imagined that he would surely have died

55
00:04:53,046 --> 00:04:55,296
like most musicians in the 70s:

56
00:04:55,296 --> 00:04:57,463
due to drugs or a car accident

57
00:04:57,463 --> 00:04:58,755
while on tour.

58
00:05:40,713 --> 00:05:42,713
Ah, here it is!

59
00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,838
This one here, please.

60
00:06:08,088 --> 00:06:13,755
The next day, I met up for a drink with my good friend João,

61
00:06:13,755 --> 00:06:17,421
who is one of the people I know who knows the most about Brazilian music,

62
00:06:17,755 --> 00:06:19,671
and I often go to him for help.

63
00:06:19,671 --> 00:06:22,421
He gave me the names of people I could talk to.

64
00:06:22,421 --> 00:06:24,255
and also their phone numbers.

65
00:06:24,255 --> 00:06:26,005
And as he always does,

66
00:06:26,005 --> 00:06:28,838
He brought me discs as a gift.

67
00:06:28,838 --> 00:06:30,005
...from the 60s,

68
00:06:30,005 --> 00:06:33,171
which was discontinued, impossible to find.

69
00:06:33,171 --> 00:06:36,713
I already have this one. By the way, who is this pianist?

70
00:06:36,713 --> 00:06:39,255
I've never heard of him. Who is Tenório Júnior?

71
00:06:39,255 --> 00:06:42,755
Tenório was one of the greatest exponents of samba-jazz

72
00:06:42,755 --> 00:06:44,671
during the bossa nova years.

73
00:06:44,671 --> 00:06:48,838
He was the most jazzy of the Brazilian pianists.

74
00:06:49,296 --> 00:06:50,296
And what happend?

75
00:06:50,296 --> 00:06:52,671
He died, and it's a pretty strange story.

76
00:06:52,838 --> 00:06:55,796
I was in Buenos Aires, playing with Vinícius de Moraes,

77
00:06:55,796 --> 00:06:59,338
when one night, suddenly, he disappeared.

78
00:06:59,338 --> 00:07:01,963
Nobody heard from him again.

79
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:03,421
And how do you know he's dead?

80
00:07:03,421 --> 00:07:06,880
Well, it happened during the military coup in Argentina.

81
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,713
Were you involved in politics or something like that?

82
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,130
I do not know...

83
00:07:12,130 --> 00:07:13,255
Not that I know.

84
00:07:13,255 --> 00:07:14,880
No. Not that I know of.

85
00:07:15,671 --> 00:07:17,588
I would like to know more about him.

86
00:07:18,671 --> 00:07:22,713
This was the Beco das Garrafas. The bottle alley.

87
00:07:22,713 --> 00:07:24,796
Was this the Beco das Garrafas?

88
00:07:24,796 --> 00:07:26,796
Samba-jazz was born here!

89
00:07:26,796 --> 00:07:28,130
Why did they call him that?

90
00:07:28,130 --> 00:07:33,338
Because so many people came that the neighbors couldn't sleep.

91
00:07:33,338 --> 00:07:38,296
and they started throwing bottles at everyone.

92
00:07:38,296 --> 00:07:41,630
There were only four small clubs.

93
00:07:41,630 --> 00:07:44,630
Some were even whore bars.

94
00:07:44,963 --> 00:07:49,713
There was Bottle's club, and there in front was Little's...

95
00:07:49,713 --> 00:07:53,463
There, see? They were from Alberico Campana,

96
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:57,505
an Italian immigrant who had no money.

97
00:07:57,505 --> 00:08:01,380
I didn't even know that Portuguese was spoken in Brazil.

98
00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:04,546
-Do not tell me! - Yes, I thought we spoke Spanish.

99
00:08:04,546 --> 00:08:07,421
He could tell you a lot of stories.

100
00:08:07,421 --> 00:08:11,130
- Let's talk to him. - Nothing remains of those times.

101
00:08:11,130 --> 00:08:14,880
It was a golden era that lasted only ten years.

102
00:08:15,338 --> 00:08:16,880
They were all new kids.

103
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,338
The bossa nova movement began timidly.

104
00:08:20,505 --> 00:08:22,046
It didn't catch on immediately.

105
00:08:22,505 --> 00:08:26,088
Only among the same ones who made bossa nova...

106
00:08:26,255 --> 00:08:27,880
but it started to grow and grow...

107
00:08:28,255 --> 00:08:31,088
And there were 60 people inside and 1,000 people outside.

108
00:08:31,255 --> 00:08:33,671
-Mother! - Of 1,000 people, 300 were musicians.

109
00:08:33,963 --> 00:08:36,671
That's why I think it was something historic,

110
00:08:36,671 --> 00:08:40,671
because there was a radical change in the music of that time.

111
00:08:41,005 --> 00:08:43,671
That's all folks!

112
00:08:47,796 --> 00:08:51,546
Ella Fitzgerald sang for four days at the Copacabana Palace,

113
00:08:51,546 --> 00:08:56,838
and for four days he ran out of there without doing an encore to go to Beco.

114
00:08:56,838 --> 00:09:00,755
Everyone who came to Rio de Janeiro stopped by Beco.

115
00:09:00,755 --> 00:09:03,130
It was a wonderful city,

116
00:09:03,130 --> 00:09:07,296
everyone happy, everyone happy... Nothing was happening.

117
00:10:11,171 --> 00:10:13,796
It was a totally strange, completely new thing.

118
00:10:13,796 --> 00:10:16,380
The lyrics were completely new.

119
00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:18,213
The music was completely new.

120
00:10:18,796 --> 00:10:21,713
The way of singing was completely new,

121
00:10:22,421 --> 00:10:24,588
and there was a guitar that no one played like that either.

122
00:10:24,588 --> 00:10:27,171
Music wasn't made like that.

123
00:10:27,838 --> 00:10:31,046
Before and after Chega de saudade , it was something else,

124
00:10:31,046 --> 00:10:34,380
another roll, clearly. That's what happened with Chega de saudade .

125
00:10:34,546 --> 00:10:38,755
I went crazy with all that,

126
00:10:38,755 --> 00:10:41,046
with that poetry...

127
00:10:41,338 --> 00:10:45,255
That's right, Chega de saudade changed my life.

128
00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:49,546
Go away from me, sadness,

129
00:10:49,546 --> 00:10:52,338
and tell her

130
00:10:52,338 --> 00:10:56,088
that without it it cannot be.

131
00:10:56,671 --> 00:11:01,130
tell him in a prayer

132
00:11:01,130 --> 00:11:02,546
for her to return.

133
00:11:02,546 --> 00:11:05,713
After that song, nothing was the same again.

134
00:11:05,713 --> 00:11:09,046
The song was called Chega de saudade, No more blues,

135
00:11:09,046 --> 00:11:12,838
and brought together the holy trinity of the new Brazilian sound:

136
00:11:12,838 --> 00:11:14,421
Joao Gilberto,

137
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,796
the poet Vinícius de Moraes, who wrote the lyrics,

138
00:11:17,796 --> 00:11:20,171
and Antonio Carlos Jobim,

139
00:11:20,338 --> 00:11:22,880
who was in charge of the music and arrangements.

140
00:11:25,213 --> 00:11:27,005
Era 1959,

141
00:11:27,338 --> 00:11:31,463
bossa nova in Brazil and the nouvelle vague in France

142
00:11:31,463 --> 00:11:34,963
They changed the history of music and cinema.

143
00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:38,046
And when the Brazilian musicians arrived in New York

144
00:11:38,046 --> 00:11:40,796
for his legendary concert at Carnegie Hall,

145
00:11:40,796 --> 00:11:42,880
There was no one to stop him.

146
00:11:43,046 --> 00:11:45,546
American musicians went completely crazy

147
00:11:45,546 --> 00:11:46,755
for Brazilian music:

148
00:11:46,921 --> 00:11:48,921
Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn,

149
00:11:48,921 --> 00:11:51,463
Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie

150
00:11:51,463 --> 00:11:54,671
and, when Stan Getz recorded with João Gilberto,

151
00:11:54,671 --> 00:11:57,838
They knocked the Beatles out of first place on the charts.

152
00:11:58,005 --> 00:12:01,463
Even Frank Sinatra recorded two albums with Jobim,

153
00:12:01,713 --> 00:12:02,921
which is not surprising,

154
00:12:02,921 --> 00:12:04,880
since the precursors of bossa nova

155
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,630
They had been members of the Frank Sinatra and Dick Farney fan club in Rio

156
00:12:08,630 --> 00:12:09,755
back in the 50's.

157
00:12:10,088 --> 00:12:14,171
The whole world began to sing and dance to the rhythm of Brazilian music.

158
00:12:14,338 --> 00:12:18,546
There hadn't been anything like it since the rise of mambo in the 1940s.

159
00:12:23,546 --> 00:12:26,213
Everyone talks about the influence of bossa nova

160
00:12:26,213 --> 00:12:27,546
in American music,

161
00:12:27,546 --> 00:12:29,546
but bossa was also influenced

162
00:12:29,546 --> 00:12:33,463
by American music, especially West Coast jazz.

163
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:39,213
When Elis Regina was asked which singer had influenced her the most,

164
00:12:39,213 --> 00:12:41,213
do you know who said? - No.

165
00:12:41,380 --> 00:12:44,296
- Chet Baker said. -Do not tell me!

166
00:12:44,463 --> 00:12:48,671
By the way, tomorrow they will screen a documentary about Vinícius de Moraes,

167
00:12:48,671 --> 00:12:50,546
produced by his daughter.

168
00:12:50,546 --> 00:12:51,880
It could be interesting.

169
00:12:52,505 --> 00:12:55,796
If you want me to stop crying,

170
00:12:57,755 --> 00:13:02,463
tell time to stop passing.

171
00:13:03,338 --> 00:13:06,463
Time cries my own cry.

172
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,046
Him and me, but both...

173
00:13:12,421 --> 00:13:15,755
so that you are not sad,

174
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:21,963
What I can do? Singing.

175
00:13:22,130 --> 00:13:23,796
After the disappearance of Tenório,

176
00:13:23,796 --> 00:13:26,171
My father stayed in Buenos Aires for a while.

177
00:13:26,338 --> 00:13:29,213
In fact, he had an Argentine girlfriend at the time.

178
00:13:29,213 --> 00:13:31,921
The penultimate one, just before Gilda.

179
00:13:32,296 --> 00:13:35,463
Another coincidence was that the Buenos Aires counselor

180
00:13:35,463 --> 00:13:40,505
When all this shit happened it was my ex-husband Rodolfo.

181
00:13:40,671 --> 00:13:42,880
My father asked him for help to find Tenório,

182
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,505
but it was impossible.

183
00:13:44,671 --> 00:13:47,463
Has anyone told you about Malena?

184
00:13:47,630 --> 00:13:49,921
Malena? Who is Malena? His wife of hers?

185
00:13:50,421 --> 00:13:53,088
- Well, not exactly. - He was married, right?

186
00:13:53,255 --> 00:13:54,421
He had many children...

187
00:13:54,421 --> 00:13:58,505
Yes, four, and I think they were expecting the fifth,

188
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,505
but he was also in love with Malena.

189
00:14:00,505 --> 00:14:03,421
And why was he arrested? Because they killed him?

190
00:14:03,421 --> 00:14:05,046
Nobody knows it for sure.

191
00:14:05,213 --> 00:14:07,880
Apparently, Malena was not feeling well

192
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,421
and he went to the pharmacy to get some medicine, and that's it.

193
00:14:12,421 --> 00:14:14,588
It just vanished. She left.

194
00:14:14,755 --> 00:14:15,796
He disappeared.

195
00:14:16,421 --> 00:14:17,588
I know her.

196
00:14:17,588 --> 00:14:19,546
Do you want me to call her?

197
00:14:19,713 --> 00:14:20,880
And Malena?

198
00:14:22,171 --> 00:14:26,130
Did you know that Tenório was with another woman when he disappeared?

199
00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:27,171
Yes of course.

200
00:14:27,171 --> 00:14:30,255
Jeff, Gilda was Vinícius' last wife.

201
00:14:30,421 --> 00:14:33,296
Just yesterday I was talking to Jeff about Tenório Junior.

202
00:14:33,463 --> 00:14:36,671
It was a mystery, something very distressing for Vinícius.

203
00:14:37,130 --> 00:14:39,921
It was very rare that a day passed

204
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:43,630
without Vinícius speaking about Tenório

205
00:14:43,796 --> 00:14:45,671
and of that terrible episode.

206
00:14:45,921 --> 00:14:50,338
He died with that anguish over Tenório's disappearance.

207
00:14:52,213 --> 00:14:54,296
Malena doesn't want to talk about it.

208
00:14:54,713 --> 00:14:59,046
She has been silent for 35 years out of respect for her family

209
00:14:59,046 --> 00:15:02,005
and he's not going to start talking now.

210
00:15:02,005 --> 00:15:04,630
I know some musicians who were friends of his.

211
00:15:04,630 --> 00:15:08,046
If you want, you could try to locate his widow through them.

212
00:15:08,213 --> 00:15:10,088
Well, rather, to his wife.

213
00:15:10,421 --> 00:15:12,088
Since the body was never found,

214
00:15:12,088 --> 00:15:16,088
He did not receive any compensation as a victim of the dictatorship.

215
00:15:16,088 --> 00:15:18,005
He doesn't even receive a pension.

216
00:15:18,005 --> 00:15:19,255
Can you believe it?

217
00:15:19,588 --> 00:15:20,630
Vaya...

218
00:15:24,046 --> 00:15:25,380
- Hello. -Are you still here?

219
00:15:25,380 --> 00:15:27,046
-João? - I just talked to a friend

220
00:15:27,046 --> 00:15:28,921
who knows Tenório's wife, Carmen.

221
00:15:28,921 --> 00:15:33,255
He told me that he lives in a small town in the middle of nowhere.

222
00:15:33,255 --> 00:15:34,713
He doesn't even have a telephone.

223
00:15:34,713 --> 00:15:38,963
You have to call a public phone booth. You understand me?

224
00:16:14,963 --> 00:16:18,046
"He disappeared under strange circumstances."

225
00:16:18,046 --> 00:16:19,921
"Tortured and murdered."

226
00:16:28,963 --> 00:16:33,796
A few days later, I caught a flight to Tucson to meet with Bud Shank,

227
00:16:33,796 --> 00:16:38,255
one of the great stars of West Coast jazz along with Chet Baker.

228
00:16:40,213 --> 00:16:44,505
He was the first to mix samba and jazz in the mid-50s.

229
00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:47,421
Hola.

230
00:16:50,588 --> 00:16:51,921
On the way home,

231
00:16:51,921 --> 00:16:55,255
Bud told me about those pioneering recordings

232
00:16:55,255 --> 00:16:59,046
with Brazilian guitarist Laurindo Almeida in Los Angeles.

233
00:17:02,838 --> 00:17:05,130
I just arrived in Rio, I met...

234
00:17:05,130 --> 00:17:06,755
I met a lot of people.

235
00:17:06,755 --> 00:17:09,380
It was during the days of the carnival.

236
00:17:09,380 --> 00:17:13,213
I arrived the day it started.

237
00:17:13,838 --> 00:17:16,421
And I didn't know anyone in Rio.

238
00:17:26,505 --> 00:17:28,630
The whole time I was there it was carnival.

239
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:32,171
There was carnival everywhere.

240
00:17:32,338 --> 00:17:34,505
24 hours a day.

241
00:17:34,671 --> 00:17:36,755
So I couldn't really know

242
00:17:36,755 --> 00:17:40,421
whether Rio was always like this or only during carnival.

243
00:17:40,421 --> 00:17:41,671
It was like being in paradise.

244
00:17:41,671 --> 00:17:43,546
I had never danced in the street in my life.

245
00:17:43,546 --> 00:17:45,838
I had neither done it before nor have I done it again since.

246
00:17:54,421 --> 00:17:55,921
Walking

247
00:17:55,921 --> 00:17:59,380
I went into a club that was right next to my hotel.

248
00:18:44,755 --> 00:18:46,546
I was very impressed by his way of playing.

249
00:18:46,546 --> 00:18:48,713
which was something very refreshing.

250
00:18:48,713 --> 00:18:52,380
With a more contemporary, younger approach.

251
00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:53,671
It was something new and wonderful...

252
00:18:53,838 --> 00:18:55,880
Imagine my amazement

253
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,588
when he told me that that pianist was Tenório Junior.

254
00:18:59,588 --> 00:19:02,671
I don't know if Tenório was his first name or his last name.

255
00:19:02,838 --> 00:19:04,588
I just... Everyone called him Tenório.

256
00:19:04,588 --> 00:19:06,755
As I told you, he spoke English very well.

257
00:19:06,755 --> 00:19:08,921
He was an intellectual.

258
00:19:08,921 --> 00:19:12,546
He could talk about many topics and, above all, about music.

259
00:19:13,005 --> 00:19:16,713
And he was younger than Jobim and that whole group.

260
00:19:16,713 --> 00:19:20,380
I really enjoyed playing with him. We talk a lot about samba.

261
00:19:20,546 --> 00:19:23,546
He even told me that he wanted to take him to the United States.

262
00:19:23,546 --> 00:19:24,796
to play in his band.

263
00:19:24,796 --> 00:19:27,213
...which never happened. Instead, Sérgio Mendes came.

264
00:19:27,213 --> 00:19:28,296
Tenório no.

265
00:19:29,338 --> 00:19:31,505
Sérgio Mendes wanted to be a pop star.

266
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:35,338
That was evident at the beginning.

267
00:19:35,755 --> 00:19:37,505
Listening to him speak,

268
00:19:37,505 --> 00:19:40,713
At some point I realized I had no idea.

269
00:19:40,713 --> 00:19:42,463
of what happened to Tenório.

270
00:19:42,630 --> 00:19:45,796
I decided to tell him that he had disappeared

271
00:19:45,796 --> 00:19:47,838
and that no one saw him again,

272
00:19:47,838 --> 00:19:49,755
that they never found his body.

273
00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:52,505
I had no idea about all that.

274
00:19:53,130 --> 00:19:55,171
Wow, that's a horrible story.

275
00:19:55,171 --> 00:19:56,713
- Yes. - Tenório...

276
00:19:56,713 --> 00:19:58,046
How strong...

277
00:19:58,213 --> 00:19:59,505
Already. TRUE?

278
00:20:01,046 --> 00:20:02,088
How awful...

279
00:20:04,463 --> 00:20:07,921
I liked him very much, and I liked him as a person.

280
00:20:08,713 --> 00:20:09,796
Why Tenório?

281
00:20:17,546 --> 00:20:21,880
He took me back to the airport, but he didn't speak the entire way.

282
00:20:28,671 --> 00:20:30,630
Two weeks later, I returned to Rio.

283
00:20:30,796 --> 00:20:33,088
I have organized a lot of interviews for you,

284
00:20:33,088 --> 00:20:36,088
the who's who of Brazilian music.

285
00:20:36,255 --> 00:20:38,546
Susana de Moraes also called me.

286
00:20:38,546 --> 00:20:41,838
He wants you to go to dinner tonight.

287
00:20:41,838 --> 00:20:44,838
Apparently, Malena has changed her mind

288
00:20:44,838 --> 00:20:47,546
and now he wants to talk to you.

289
00:20:47,546 --> 00:20:48,546
Small?

290
00:20:48,713 --> 00:20:52,630
Malena, the girl who was with Tenório in Buenos Aires.

291
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:54,755
You want to talk to her, right?

292
00:20:54,755 --> 00:20:55,963
Dog.

293
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:59,880
But first we have agreed to meet Ferreira Gullar.

294
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,130
Who is that?

295
00:21:01,296 --> 00:21:03,046
He is a great poet.

296
00:21:03,046 --> 00:21:06,921
He wrote Sujo Poem , Dirty Poem .

297
00:21:07,088 --> 00:21:10,796
He was a close friend of Vinícius and was exiled in Buenos Aires.

298
00:21:10,796 --> 00:21:12,255
when Tenório disappeared.

299
00:21:12,255 --> 00:21:14,713
I could give you a lot of interesting information.

300
00:21:14,713 --> 00:21:17,505
and lives just a couple of minutes from your hotel.

301
00:21:17,505 --> 00:21:21,505
After you drop your bags, we'll go see him. Seem to you?

302
00:21:21,505 --> 00:21:22,921
Yes cool. Come on.

303
00:21:23,088 --> 00:21:27,796
Vinícius always went to Punta del Este.

304
00:21:27,796 --> 00:21:30,546
Then to Mar del Plata and then to Buenos Aires.

305
00:21:30,713 --> 00:21:33,713
During the summer, I lived in an apartment hotel.

306
00:21:33,713 --> 00:21:37,421
One day I went to his apartment

307
00:21:37,713 --> 00:21:40,838
and I heard a conversation with a young woman,

308
00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:44,421
who was Tenório's girlfriend.

309
00:21:45,338 --> 00:21:49,546
And he went in there and said, "Tenorio hasn't come back yet."

310
00:21:50,255 --> 00:21:53,255
She told us that she was not feeling well.

311
00:21:53,255 --> 00:21:57,171
and that Tenório went down to the pharmacy to buy medicine,

312
00:21:57,171 --> 00:21:59,296
He disappeared and did not return.

313
00:21:59,505 --> 00:22:03,546
Then Ferreira Gullar told us something incredible.

314
00:22:03,546 --> 00:22:05,921
When I arrived in Buenos Aires,

315
00:22:05,921 --> 00:22:10,338
A son of mine had a psychological problem and disappeared...

316
00:22:10,963 --> 00:22:13,671
He left home and disappeared.

317
00:22:14,130 --> 00:22:16,671
I was in a state of despair

318
00:22:16,671 --> 00:22:18,546
and I spoke with an Argentinian acquaintance...

319
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:21,380
A friend of Ferreira told him

320
00:22:21,380 --> 00:22:24,421
who knew a psychic named Haydée.

321
00:22:24,588 --> 00:22:26,046
And then he told me the following:

322
00:22:26,046 --> 00:22:30,546
"Mr. Gullar, I know you don't believe in these things.

323
00:22:30,546 --> 00:22:32,963
But if you want, I can give you his phone number.

324
00:22:32,963 --> 00:22:34,921
to see if she can find her son."

325
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:37,005
I said, "Okay, give me the phone."

326
00:22:37,338 --> 00:22:41,130
I called her: "I'm so-and-so, a friend of Beltrana.

327
00:22:41,130 --> 00:22:45,338
"I'm calling you because my son has disappeared."

328
00:22:46,463 --> 00:22:48,796
When I told him the name, his tone of voice changed,

329
00:22:48,796 --> 00:22:51,838
A strange voice came out and said...

330
00:22:53,338 --> 00:22:56,130
Ferreira thought his son was dead,

331
00:22:56,130 --> 00:22:58,380
but she assured him that was not the case.

332
00:23:05,546 --> 00:23:07,671
I told her: "But Mrs. Haydée, I am an exile,

333
00:23:07,671 --> 00:23:10,921
I can't call the embassy without them ending up putting me in jail.

334
00:23:10,921 --> 00:23:12,213
If I go to the embassy..."

335
00:23:18,755 --> 00:23:21,463
Ferreira's son had spent two days on the street

336
00:23:21,921 --> 00:23:23,546
until someone saw it.

337
00:23:24,421 --> 00:23:26,213
Since he only spoke Portuguese,

338
00:23:26,213 --> 00:23:28,838
They took him to the Brazilian embassy.

339
00:23:29,130 --> 00:23:31,046
They prepared a place for him to sleep,

340
00:23:31,046 --> 00:23:33,671
waiting for someone to come identify him.

341
00:23:34,171 --> 00:23:35,963
Just as the psychic had said,

342
00:23:35,963 --> 00:23:37,921
The boy was "underground."

343
00:23:38,505 --> 00:23:41,171
So I told this story to Vinícius.

344
00:23:41,171 --> 00:23:43,755
I told him: "Vinícius, if you want, I can call Mrs. Haydée

345
00:23:43,755 --> 00:23:45,671
to locate Tenório Júnior".

346
00:23:45,838 --> 00:23:48,213
I grabbed my agenda and called Mrs. Haydée.

347
00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:52,171
"Mrs. Haydée, I'm Ferreira, the Brazilian."

348
00:23:52,546 --> 00:23:54,338
I said, "I have another problem.

349
00:23:54,505 --> 00:23:58,005
It's this: a Brazilian pianist has disappeared."

350
00:23:59,088 --> 00:24:00,130
Tenório Junior.

351
00:24:00,296 --> 00:24:01,588
Because you had to say the name

352
00:24:01,588 --> 00:24:06,088
to be able to locate the person.

353
00:24:06,255 --> 00:24:10,046
It is a mind-to-mind contact.

354
00:24:10,380 --> 00:24:12,421
Say the name: "Tenório Júnior".

355
00:24:12,588 --> 00:24:15,171
When I said the name, the voice changed again.

356
00:24:26,505 --> 00:24:27,588
Oh really?

357
00:24:27,588 --> 00:24:30,255
At that moment I was scared

358
00:24:30,421 --> 00:24:34,171
that I knew that the girl was there by my side.

359
00:24:34,338 --> 00:24:39,546
Then I said to her: "Mrs. Haydée, what about Tenório?"

360
00:24:54,838 --> 00:24:56,463
I didn't wait until the third day,

361
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,338
and on the second day I called Mrs. Haydée.

362
00:25:03,546 --> 00:25:06,380
When I called and she heard my voice,

363
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,338
Before I could say anything, he shouted in a terrible voice:

364
00:25:11,338 --> 00:25:15,338
"Mr. Ferreira, they have murdered you!

365
00:25:16,755 --> 00:25:19,130
They have massacred him," he told me.

366
00:25:23,546 --> 00:25:28,213
I returned to Vinícius' house to tell him the news.

367
00:25:35,421 --> 00:25:39,671
When I told him what Mrs. Haydée had told me on the phone,

368
00:25:40,380 --> 00:25:41,921
he remained motionless on the couch

369
00:25:42,380 --> 00:25:46,296
and then tears began to fall from her eyes.

370
00:25:47,171 --> 00:25:50,296
And he began to say: "My friend, my friend...".

371
00:25:50,963 --> 00:25:55,130
Vinícius was restless, worried, and I suggested to him:

372
00:25:55,130 --> 00:25:58,796
"Buy this girl a ticket and send her back to Rio de Janeiro."

373
00:25:59,588 --> 00:26:02,463
She was very scared.

374
00:26:02,463 --> 00:26:05,296
I had gone there on a pleasure trip

375
00:26:05,505 --> 00:26:09,255
and suddenly he found himself in a horrible mess.

376
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,755
All these difficulties in finding Tenório,

377
00:26:15,005 --> 00:26:18,463
In my memory, they are mixed with the military coup.

378
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,713
I think that's why nothing was ever known,

379
00:26:23,546 --> 00:26:26,671
because the Argentine dictatorship was not interested

380
00:26:27,255 --> 00:26:32,671
that they accused her of having murdered a musician, a pianist,

381
00:26:33,130 --> 00:26:35,088
and in the most brutal way.

382
00:26:35,255 --> 00:26:39,463
And they never returned the body,

383
00:26:39,463 --> 00:26:41,921
They tried to cover it all up.

384
00:27:00,088 --> 00:27:03,255
That night I went to Susana de Moraes' house

385
00:27:03,255 --> 00:27:04,796
to meet Malena.

386
00:27:06,130 --> 00:27:07,213
During the dinner,

387
00:27:08,380 --> 00:27:10,380
I asked him why he had changed his mind.

388
00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:11,921
and he had decided to talk to me.

389
00:27:12,463 --> 00:27:13,505
He answered:

390
00:27:13,505 --> 00:27:18,338
"Because Tenório was an artist and he didn't deserve to be forgotten."

391
00:27:18,338 --> 00:27:21,546
We were starting a love story

392
00:27:22,130 --> 00:27:24,338
when everything happened.

393
00:27:24,505 --> 00:27:26,130
Nobody knew I was going there.

394
00:27:26,130 --> 00:27:30,338
I couldn't say that I was going with a married man to Punta del Este.

395
00:27:30,338 --> 00:27:32,213
So we decided to run away.

396
00:27:32,380 --> 00:27:33,921
Vinícius had invited him.

397
00:27:33,921 --> 00:27:38,796
Vinícius was doing a summer tour that he always did.

398
00:27:57,713 --> 00:28:01,130
There in Punta del Este it was great,

399
00:28:01,421 --> 00:28:04,755
but he had his mind in the clouds,

400
00:28:04,921 --> 00:28:07,005
for your personal situation.

401
00:28:07,005 --> 00:28:08,296
He had to come back

402
00:28:08,463 --> 00:28:12,171
and resolve a situation that perhaps, unconsciously, you did not want to resolve.

403
00:28:13,213 --> 00:28:14,296
Who are these?

404
00:28:14,588 --> 00:28:17,463
This is him with Azeitona.

405
00:28:17,671 --> 00:28:20,255
And Mutinho, who was the drummer.

406
00:28:20,713 --> 00:28:24,421
They were the ones who played with him on the Vinícius tour.

407
00:28:24,421 --> 00:28:29,171
Olive is murió, but Mutinho lives in São Paulo, like Toquinho.

408
00:28:29,171 --> 00:28:30,338
Vale.

409
00:28:33,046 --> 00:28:34,505
When I arrived in Buenos Aires,

410
00:28:34,505 --> 00:28:37,213
There was a climate of dread in the air;

411
00:28:37,213 --> 00:28:39,880
a place completely besieged.

412
00:28:40,046 --> 00:28:42,713
An emergency situation, like a war.

413
00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:46,546
There were barricades, machine guns all the time...

414
00:28:46,546 --> 00:28:49,380
Wherever you went, it was like that.

415
00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:52,546
You couldn't take two steps without having a machine gun on you.

416
00:28:53,505 --> 00:28:57,838
But he liked to play in Buenos Aires.

417
00:28:57,838 --> 00:28:59,588
I knew a lot of people.

418
00:28:59,588 --> 00:29:00,880
I knew Piazzola.

419
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,213
We went to dinner with Piazzola one night at a restaurant,

420
00:29:05,921 --> 00:29:08,296
but Tenório was not well.

421
00:29:08,755 --> 00:29:14,296
Because for him, someone who had, I think, five children, a wife...

422
00:29:14,963 --> 00:29:18,796
I had a tremendous mess in my head.

423
00:29:20,338 --> 00:29:22,296
We returned from the theater

424
00:29:22,296 --> 00:29:25,463
and Vinícius had prepared a dinner

425
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:28,421
to celebrate the end of the tour at a restaurant I always went to,

426
00:29:28,588 --> 00:29:31,963
because in the morning we returned to Brazil.

427
00:29:32,380 --> 00:29:36,380
And he told me: "I don't feel like going at all."

428
00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:37,963
So I said, "Okay, let's not go.

429
00:29:38,130 --> 00:29:42,421
Also, my head hurts a little. Go get something next door."

430
00:29:42,421 --> 00:29:44,838
There was a place that sold sandwiches.

431
00:29:44,838 --> 00:29:46,671
"Bring something and we'll stay here."

432
00:29:54,505 --> 00:29:57,255
There, everything is fine. I was waiting for it.

433
00:29:58,296 --> 00:30:00,338
And an hour, two hours passed...

434
00:30:01,713 --> 00:30:02,671
and nothing.

435
00:30:03,088 --> 00:30:06,130
Tenório had gone to the corner and did not return.

436
00:30:07,505 --> 00:30:11,088
Then I started to feel bad, to break out in a cold sweat.

437
00:30:11,255 --> 00:30:12,463
I did not sleep all night...

438
00:30:12,463 --> 00:30:15,380
The next day, we started looking for him.

439
00:30:15,713 --> 00:30:18,171
And then Vinícius told me: "You're going to take the plane."

440
00:30:18,338 --> 00:30:22,380
"I'm not leaving. I'm staying, he's going to show up."

441
00:30:22,755 --> 00:30:25,671
And I stayed there for about three days.

442
00:30:27,088 --> 00:30:30,255
Afterwards, Vinícius put me on a plane.

443
00:30:30,921 --> 00:30:36,255
"You leave and I stay here, trying to find him."

444
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:40,546
I went to live in Petrópolis.

445
00:30:40,963 --> 00:30:43,963
My mother had a country house and I stayed there.

446
00:30:44,255 --> 00:30:45,380
I spent eight years there.

447
00:30:51,505 --> 00:30:55,046
I was in shock for a long time.

448
00:30:55,046 --> 00:30:56,588
I couldn't speak.

449
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:58,838
I didn't speak for many months.

450
00:30:59,005 --> 00:31:02,546
And then, little by little, I began to get my life back.

451
00:31:02,546 --> 00:31:05,255
And I started making botanical illustrations,

452
00:31:05,255 --> 00:31:06,796
then to work with plants.

453
00:31:06,796 --> 00:31:10,005
And today, I am a botanical illustrator,

454
00:31:10,005 --> 00:31:13,963
People even know me for my illustrations and everything.

455
00:31:15,630 --> 00:31:17,630
Everything happened very quickly.

456
00:31:17,630 --> 00:31:21,963
It was a short time, four months or so.

457
00:31:40,671 --> 00:31:45,796
It was more of a dream that did not come true.

458
00:31:46,796 --> 00:31:49,296
But I loved watching him play.

459
00:31:49,713 --> 00:31:54,296
He sat down at the piano and the world stopped.

460
00:31:54,588 --> 00:31:57,713
When he played it was like a kind of enchantment.

461
00:31:58,338 --> 00:32:01,421
His music enveloped everything.

462
00:32:07,838 --> 00:32:09,088
Tenório was special...

463
00:32:12,005 --> 00:32:13,171
special.

464
00:32:14,796 --> 00:32:16,255
So I asked Malena

465
00:32:16,255 --> 00:32:19,213
If anyone investigating Tenório's death,

466
00:32:19,213 --> 00:32:22,671
a police officer or a journalist, had ever spoken to her.

467
00:32:22,671 --> 00:32:25,505
Never. Nobody in 30 years.

468
00:32:25,671 --> 00:32:27,921
Never. Nobody in 30 years.

469
00:32:31,921 --> 00:32:34,921
Hello, do you have something to write down something?

470
00:32:34,921 --> 00:32:36,505
Yes, in the hand.

471
00:32:36,505 --> 00:32:37,963
3, 4, 9...

472
00:32:37,963 --> 00:32:40,213
- 3, 4, 9... - 3, 1, 5...

473
00:32:40,213 --> 00:32:43,671
- 3, 1, 5... - 9, 6, 6 again, 9...

474
00:32:43,671 --> 00:32:45,255
- 6, 6, 9... - It's the public telephone

475
00:32:45,255 --> 00:32:46,880
from the town where Carmen lives.

476
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,713
- OK. - And here's the big news:

477
00:32:48,713 --> 00:32:52,880
João Gilberto has agreed to talk to you tomorrow.

478
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,130
Thirty minutes, but without recording anything.

479
00:32:55,130 --> 00:32:58,671
Now you owe me two dinners!

480
00:32:58,671 --> 00:32:59,796
At least!

481
00:32:59,796 --> 00:33:01,546
Two dinners, sir.

482
00:33:01,546 --> 00:33:02,671
Yeah! Two dinners!

483
00:33:28,255 --> 00:33:31,796
I arrived half an hour early and was walking around.

484
00:33:31,796 --> 00:33:33,880
so as not to arrive too soon

485
00:33:34,046 --> 00:33:38,380
nor, of course, late for my appointment with João Gilberto,

486
00:33:38,588 --> 00:33:40,546
the man Miles Davis said about

487
00:33:40,546 --> 00:33:42,838
which sounded good even reading a newspaper.

488
00:34:03,296 --> 00:34:07,046
I was 17 years old when I first heard João Gilberto playing

489
00:34:07,046 --> 00:34:09,046
I miss that special way.

490
00:34:09,046 --> 00:34:12,671
I thought I had finally understood modernity

491
00:34:12,671 --> 00:34:15,963
and the essence of the history of Brazilian popular music.

492
00:34:16,130 --> 00:34:18,755
It made me read literature in a different way,

493
00:34:18,755 --> 00:34:21,588
see movies differently, feel life differently...

494
00:34:21,588 --> 00:34:22,713
I mean, it changed everything.

495
00:34:22,713 --> 00:34:26,463
I remembered that Tenório was thinking of recording with Caetano

496
00:34:26,463 --> 00:34:28,463
when I returned from Buenos Aires.

497
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:34,171
I always had great respect for Tenório,

498
00:34:34,421 --> 00:34:37,880
for his musical ability,

499
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:43,005
the privileged ear for music that he undoubtedly had.

500
00:34:43,255 --> 00:34:48,713
This made me have great respect for him.

501
00:34:52,630 --> 00:34:57,255
I remember a train trip I took with Tenório from São Paulo to Rio.

502
00:34:57,255 --> 00:35:00,588
We spent the whole night talking in the carriage, without sleeping.

503
00:35:00,588 --> 00:35:02,671
I was playing Ela é Carioca

504
00:35:02,671 --> 00:35:04,338
and I had some doubts about the harmony.

505
00:35:04,338 --> 00:35:06,838
He taught me, he explained to me,

506
00:35:06,838 --> 00:35:08,755
He told me the chords,

507
00:35:08,755 --> 00:35:12,796
and I was surprised by that direct contact with music.

508
00:35:28,213 --> 00:35:30,921
After Chico, Gil and Caetano,

509
00:35:30,921 --> 00:35:32,630
solo queba Milton Nascimento

510
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:35,880
to complete the four giants of the MPB,

511
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,505
Brazilian popular music.

512
00:35:38,255 --> 00:35:41,838
Just when I expected Milton to tell me where he was

513
00:35:41,838 --> 00:35:44,380
when he heard Chega de Saudade for the first time,

514
00:35:44,380 --> 00:35:46,880
He told me a surprising story.

515
00:35:47,046 --> 00:35:49,713
I consider myself a child of cinema.

516
00:35:56,171 --> 00:36:01,838
He told me that when he saw Jules and Jim in the cinema, he got so excited,

517
00:36:02,005 --> 00:36:04,130
who couldn't sleep that night

518
00:36:04,130 --> 00:36:05,755
and wrote three songs

519
00:36:05,755 --> 00:36:08,213
which would later appear on their first album.

520
00:36:11,588 --> 00:36:14,921
I think Truffaut changed a lot of people's lives.

521
00:36:15,255 --> 00:36:17,755
Before I left, I thought I would ask Milton

522
00:36:17,755 --> 00:36:20,005
if you had known or had any relationship

523
00:36:20,005 --> 00:36:21,588
with Tenório Júnior,

524
00:36:21,755 --> 00:36:25,463
and at the mere mention of his name, he became excited.

525
00:36:25,463 --> 00:36:27,005
He was a great musician.

526
00:36:27,380 --> 00:36:33,046
When you arrived at their house, you ended up being part of the family.

527
00:36:34,255 --> 00:36:37,463
He was a family man, with a lot of children,

528
00:36:38,546 --> 00:36:40,421
happy with his children

529
00:36:40,921 --> 00:36:43,546
and that joy that was in the house.

530
00:36:43,838 --> 00:36:46,838
His piano fascinated me.

531
00:36:47,255 --> 00:36:50,005
It is not wise to define Tenório.

532
00:36:50,005 --> 00:36:53,380
He had style, but his sound was different.

533
00:36:54,130 --> 00:36:57,296
When this album came out and arrived at my house,

534
00:36:57,296 --> 00:36:59,546
I couldn't get it off my old record player.

535
00:39:50,838 --> 00:39:53,796
Tenório played on some of the best albums of his time,

536
00:39:53,796 --> 00:39:58,796
but he only recorded one as a leader. It was in March 1964.

537
00:39:58,796 --> 00:40:00,255
He was 23 years old.

538
00:40:10,713 --> 00:40:11,838
A few days later,

539
00:40:12,296 --> 00:40:15,921
a military coup stopped the country's modernization

540
00:40:16,088 --> 00:40:20,421
and launched a dictatorship that would last more than 20 years.

541
00:40:27,546 --> 00:40:31,088
Good afternoon, can I talk to Carmen?

542
00:40:31,088 --> 00:40:33,171
Call Mrs. Carmen!

543
00:40:35,338 --> 00:40:37,796
Mrs. Carmen, phone!

544
00:40:45,213 --> 00:40:47,588
It must be around here.

545
00:40:48,296 --> 00:40:52,755
Carmen led a simple life; she made and sold sweets.

546
00:40:52,921 --> 00:40:54,755
I am still married today.

547
00:40:54,963 --> 00:40:57,463
To be a widow, there would have to be a corpse.

548
00:40:57,463 --> 00:41:01,630
Today is like the day after his disappearance,

549
00:41:01,630 --> 00:41:03,880
nothing was known.

550
00:41:06,338 --> 00:41:08,588
It was my mother who found out on television

551
00:41:08,588 --> 00:41:11,505
that Vinícius's pianist had disappeared

552
00:41:11,505 --> 00:41:14,255
and he came home to tell me.

553
00:41:14,255 --> 00:41:16,796
I was pregnant with my little son.

554
00:41:16,796 --> 00:41:18,463
when Tenório disappeared

555
00:41:18,463 --> 00:41:21,505
and an aunt of Tenório, who was a clairvoyant,

556
00:41:21,505 --> 00:41:23,796
came to my house to see the child

557
00:41:23,963 --> 00:41:26,213
and he said to Tenório's sister:

558
00:41:26,213 --> 00:41:31,463
"The child is beautiful, but the father will not know him."

559
00:41:31,463 --> 00:41:33,255
How did you meet?

560
00:41:33,255 --> 00:41:37,005
I had seen Tenório play during the Little Club days.

561
00:41:37,005 --> 00:41:39,921
I used to go there on Sunday afternoons.

562
00:42:05,671 --> 00:42:09,963
I went to Beco das Garrafas and listened to Embalo a lot .

563
00:42:22,838 --> 00:42:26,338
And we met on the last day of '66.

564
00:42:29,213 --> 00:42:34,171
When they introduced him to me, I said: "Ah, you are the famous Tenório."

565
00:43:08,505 --> 00:43:10,630
We met there, we got married.

566
00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:13,046
With the last salary I received,

567
00:43:13,046 --> 00:43:16,880
I left my job to get married and bought the rings.

568
00:43:17,130 --> 00:43:19,130
And we got married like this,

569
00:43:19,130 --> 00:43:20,463
giving it value,

570
00:43:20,463 --> 00:43:23,796
thinking that everything would turn out well with God's help.

571
00:43:26,296 --> 00:43:28,296
Then after we got married,

572
00:43:28,296 --> 00:43:32,796
The work was not very constant either.

573
00:43:32,796 --> 00:43:37,671
We went through many difficulties, many.

574
00:43:37,838 --> 00:43:42,380
He was very radical, he was not an easy person.

575
00:43:42,380 --> 00:43:46,171
I was meeting someone and I wasn't going,

576
00:43:46,171 --> 00:43:51,296
I stopped playing in the middle of the concert,

577
00:43:51,713 --> 00:43:55,963
He would leave during the break and disappear, things like that.

578
00:43:56,171 --> 00:43:59,921
He was a little crazy, but he was an extremely polite person,

579
00:44:00,088 --> 00:44:02,005
a super sweet person.

580
00:44:02,005 --> 00:44:06,171
The only thing Tenório knew how to do was music.

581
00:44:06,171 --> 00:44:08,338
Examine a photo of Tenório

582
00:44:08,338 --> 00:44:10,963
in which he looked a lot like Bill Evans.

583
00:44:11,130 --> 00:44:13,005
I mentioned it to Carmen and she said yes,

584
00:44:13,005 --> 00:44:14,880
who was one of his favorite musicians.

585
00:44:15,296 --> 00:44:18,046
When Bill Evans was in Brazil,

586
00:44:18,046 --> 00:44:21,588
He did some concerts at the Municipal and we went to see him.

587
00:44:47,505 --> 00:44:50,630
Later, Claudio Piolho brought Bill Evans

588
00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:53,296
to the Fisherman's Bar, in Barra.

589
00:44:53,630 --> 00:44:55,630
And Tenório went too,

590
00:44:55,630 --> 00:44:59,588
I had to go because I loved Bill Evans,

591
00:44:59,588 --> 00:45:00,796
so we went there.

592
00:45:00,796 --> 00:45:04,088
I remember Bill Evans sat next to Tenório and me...

593
00:45:04,255 --> 00:45:06,630
Tenório spoke English very well.

594
00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:08,505
Then, they started talking.

595
00:45:08,505 --> 00:45:09,880
They talked a lot.

596
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,713
...for me, the classic, totally.

597
00:45:11,713 --> 00:45:15,838
Those solos are so beautiful, and it doesn't have to be double bass,

598
00:45:16,005 --> 00:45:17,213
can be anything.

599
00:45:17,213 --> 00:45:20,213
He is simply someone who expresses himself in a melodic and beautiful way.

600
00:45:20,380 --> 00:45:23,088
Then, Carmen began to tell me

601
00:45:23,088 --> 00:45:25,505
the difficulties he had to face

602
00:45:25,505 --> 00:45:27,713
after the disappearance of Tenório.

603
00:45:27,713 --> 00:45:30,296
I tried to put myself in their situation.

604
00:45:30,296 --> 00:45:34,088
Discovering at the same time that Tenório had disappeared

605
00:45:34,088 --> 00:45:37,255
and that he was not alone when it happened...

606
00:45:37,838 --> 00:45:41,005
I thought they never had a chance to argue or fight

607
00:45:41,005 --> 00:45:43,005
or separate or reconcile.

608
00:45:45,088 --> 00:45:48,546
Before I left, Tenório's children came by the house.

609
00:45:55,713 --> 00:45:57,005
I clearly remember his voice,

610
00:45:57,171 --> 00:45:59,713
playing the piano when there was a birthday.

611
00:45:59,713 --> 00:46:03,380
That's what she said, playing the piano on birthdays.

612
00:46:03,380 --> 00:46:06,505
When I think about him, that memory comes to me.

613
00:46:06,671 --> 00:46:10,546
But I don't have any more memories.

614
00:46:10,546 --> 00:46:15,255
I remember the atmosphere in the house more than him specifically.

615
00:46:17,088 --> 00:46:19,921
The atmosphere of the house, the people...

616
00:46:19,921 --> 00:46:23,880
I remember the instruments, those big double basses...

617
00:46:24,046 --> 00:46:26,505
The house was always full, there were always people,

618
00:46:26,505 --> 00:46:28,880
They were always playing in the living room.

619
00:46:32,005 --> 00:46:35,921
I remember the exact day Roberto went to the airport

620
00:46:35,921 --> 00:46:38,130
to pick you up from your trip.

621
00:46:38,296 --> 00:46:40,296
It was Elisa's birthday.

622
00:46:40,296 --> 00:46:42,671
That day, I remember that the house was all decorated.

623
00:46:42,671 --> 00:46:45,880
For a long time, when the doorbell rang,

624
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,338
We hoped it was him.

625
00:46:48,338 --> 00:46:50,630
From 10 to 12 years old, we continue waiting.

626
00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:54,546
Afterwards, we stopped having any hope.

627
00:46:54,963 --> 00:46:58,463
It's impossible now.

628
00:46:58,630 --> 00:47:00,546
Elisa wrote a letter to the president.

629
00:47:00,713 --> 00:47:02,505
I don't remember writing it.

630
00:47:03,505 --> 00:47:05,380
What would it have been like if he hadn't disappeared,

631
00:47:05,380 --> 00:47:07,630
If I had had my father alive to this day?

632
00:47:07,630 --> 00:47:11,088
What would my relationship with him be like, his relationship with his granddaughters?

633
00:47:11,338 --> 00:47:13,755
What would it be like to have a father?

634
00:47:13,921 --> 00:47:16,463
I had a strange feeling at one point,

635
00:47:16,463 --> 00:47:20,046
because I was watching his children play nearby and I thought:

636
00:47:20,046 --> 00:47:24,921
"My God, they are Tenório's grandchildren, of course, whom he never met."

637
00:47:30,005 --> 00:47:33,546
Tenório's story began to interfere with my work

638
00:47:33,546 --> 00:47:36,380
to the point of making me forget the book I was writing.

639
00:47:36,380 --> 00:47:39,713
Luckily, João was in charge of reminding me.

640
00:47:39,713 --> 00:47:40,796
What time is it?

641
00:47:40,963 --> 00:47:44,463
It is the opportunity of your life.

642
00:47:44,463 --> 00:47:48,213
Paulo Moura and João Donato, the two best musicians in Brazil,

643
00:47:48,213 --> 00:47:49,255
recording together. -Yeah!

644
00:47:49,421 --> 00:47:55,255
It's something you don't see every day, especially a gringo like you.

645
00:47:55,255 --> 00:47:57,963
When there are no witnesses, I will give you a kiss.

646
00:48:09,921 --> 00:48:10,963
Hola.

647
00:48:23,921 --> 00:48:25,005
Beautiful.

648
00:48:25,921 --> 00:48:27,046
During lunch,

649
00:48:27,046 --> 00:48:29,421
these two teachers remembered

650
00:48:29,421 --> 00:48:32,755
many stories from the golden age of bossa nova,

651
00:48:33,296 --> 00:48:36,505
from when Donato and João Gilberto, still teenagers,

652
00:48:36,505 --> 00:48:37,588
They arrived in Rio,

653
00:48:38,213 --> 00:48:41,463
Paulo Moura played on Tenório's album,

654
00:48:41,463 --> 00:48:43,046
so I asked him about that.

655
00:48:44,005 --> 00:48:45,713
With Tenório, I learned many things.

656
00:48:45,713 --> 00:48:47,838
He was the best pianist in the city.

657
00:48:48,546 --> 00:48:50,921
At that time Tenório was

658
00:48:50,921 --> 00:48:54,296
one of the important bossa nova musicians.

659
00:48:54,630 --> 00:48:56,880
I miss him a lot.

660
00:48:57,046 --> 00:48:59,880
I wish I was alive.

661
00:49:00,255 --> 00:49:03,671
It was a great loss for our music.

662
00:49:03,671 --> 00:49:07,796
I'm still listening to his musical touch.

663
00:49:08,046 --> 00:49:09,630
It was a very delicate touch.

664
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,671
I spent another week doing interviews for the book.

665
00:49:24,171 --> 00:49:27,171
They cut short a golden era.

666
00:49:27,171 --> 00:49:30,296
The best music in the world was being made in Brazil

667
00:49:30,296 --> 00:49:33,421
and, from one day to the next, they finished her off.

668
00:49:33,588 --> 00:49:36,713
Dictatorship and money, there was no longer a place for innovative music.

669
00:49:36,713 --> 00:49:39,421
They only wanted three-minute songs.

670
00:49:39,588 --> 00:49:43,421
Tenório's death was a kind of metaphor

671
00:49:43,421 --> 00:49:45,463
of the death of Brazilian music.

672
00:49:45,463 --> 00:49:49,963
And he was also a victim of two dictatorships: in Brazil and Argentina.

673
00:49:49,963 --> 00:49:53,005
Who rose to power through military-backed coups

674
00:49:53,005 --> 00:49:54,796
by the government of your country.

675
00:49:55,296 --> 00:49:56,463
That's how it went.

676
00:49:57,963 --> 00:50:00,880
The day before I left, I went to talk to a musician,

677
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,046
a friend from Tenório that Carmen had told me about

678
00:50:04,046 --> 00:50:07,255
and that he had been collecting for years

679
00:50:07,255 --> 00:50:10,880
many of Tenório's compositions for a songbook .

680
00:50:11,046 --> 00:50:13,296
Tenório, he was a gentleman .

681
00:50:13,296 --> 00:50:16,046
He was very shy, he spoke softly.

682
00:50:20,713 --> 00:50:25,421
He appeared like a bolt of lightning in Brazilian music here in Rio.

683
00:50:25,671 --> 00:50:27,338
He went to the Beco das Garrafas.

684
00:50:27,338 --> 00:50:29,171
Played once and recorded.

685
00:50:29,338 --> 00:50:30,255
It was phenomenal.

686
00:50:30,713 --> 00:50:32,630
Even today it is still phenomenal.

687
00:50:33,338 --> 00:50:37,046
If you didn't like something,

688
00:50:37,046 --> 00:50:38,713
was disappearing.

689
00:50:38,963 --> 00:50:42,505
This is how he earned a reputation at the professional level of being a guy

690
00:50:42,505 --> 00:50:43,880
that always disappeared.

691
00:50:44,088 --> 00:50:46,713
This hurt him professionally.

692
00:50:47,296 --> 00:50:48,630
Suddenly,

693
00:50:48,630 --> 00:50:50,671
I realized that those scores

694
00:50:50,671 --> 00:50:54,421
that was on the floor were by Tenório and we were stepping on his compositions.

695
00:50:54,588 --> 00:50:55,838
My God!

696
00:50:55,838 --> 00:50:57,963
These... are from Tenório?

697
00:50:58,380 --> 00:51:00,921
Yes, they are all yours. I don't compose.

698
00:51:14,713 --> 00:51:16,671
Gracias.

699
00:51:27,671 --> 00:51:30,671
Hi Jeff. I'm Jessica. How are you?

700
00:51:30,838 --> 00:51:32,505
I hope the trip went great,

701
00:51:32,505 --> 00:51:35,380
and I'm dying to read what you've written.

702
00:51:35,380 --> 00:51:37,338
Any idea when I'll be able to do it?

703
00:51:37,338 --> 00:51:41,046
Listen, by the way, if you don't have too much jet lag,

704
00:51:41,046 --> 00:51:44,588
there is an incredible Cuban pianist

705
00:51:44,588 --> 00:51:46,463
playing tonight at the Village Vanguard.

706
00:51:46,463 --> 00:51:48,546
But if you're too tired... - I'll be there.

707
00:51:48,546 --> 00:51:51,546
...don't worry because I can always invite

708
00:51:51,546 --> 00:51:56,463
to someone much sexier and more handsome than you. "

709
00:51:56,463 --> 00:51:58,546
Sexier than me? But what are you saying? - Bye bye.

710
00:52:25,088 --> 00:52:27,213
Jessica was dying

711
00:52:27,213 --> 00:52:29,588
because I would tell you news about our book,

712
00:52:29,588 --> 00:52:32,338
but at that moment I couldn't stop talking about Tenório:

713
00:52:32,338 --> 00:52:35,338
his life, his music and his tragic end.

714
00:52:35,338 --> 00:52:37,921
I couldn't stop talking about him.

715
00:52:37,921 --> 00:52:39,213
I've had enough to drink.

716
00:52:39,463 --> 00:52:42,005
Jeff, if you keep this up,

717
00:52:42,005 --> 00:52:44,796
You're going to have a hard time finding your way back home, honey.

718
00:52:44,796 --> 00:52:45,921
Don't worry.

719
00:52:45,921 --> 00:52:47,921
I was already quite drunk when I arrived.

720
00:52:55,130 --> 00:52:56,338
Great!

721
00:52:56,505 --> 00:52:57,630
Fantastic!

722
00:52:57,630 --> 00:52:59,296
Wait, Jessica, I'll be right back.

723
00:52:59,296 --> 00:53:01,213
But where are you going?

724
00:53:01,671 --> 00:53:03,296
Aren't you going to play the piano?

725
00:53:07,671 --> 00:53:08,921
Hello teacher.

726
00:53:15,296 --> 00:53:16,338
Thanks thanks.

727
00:53:44,588 --> 00:53:46,505
Oh, incredible.

728
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,630
Well, sleepyhead, it's time to get up!

729
00:54:25,421 --> 00:54:26,505
Here you have.

730
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,338
Champion's breakfast.

731
00:54:29,338 --> 00:54:31,130
But how good you are. What's that?

732
00:54:31,338 --> 00:54:32,296
I adore you.

733
00:54:32,296 --> 00:54:35,296
Listen, if you don't remember anything from last night, don't worry.

734
00:54:35,755 --> 00:54:38,213
There is nothing to remember.

735
00:54:38,796 --> 00:54:40,546
You spent the whole night...

736
00:54:41,046 --> 00:54:42,338
Mmm, how good...

737
00:54:42,338 --> 00:54:45,963
...talking about a pianist who was murdered.

738
00:54:45,963 --> 00:54:47,130
What was it called?

739
00:54:47,130 --> 00:54:50,255
Who? Ah yes, Tenório.

740
00:54:50,421 --> 00:54:52,255
Tenório, that's it.

741
00:54:52,255 --> 00:54:58,088
I wanted you to tell me about our book and you wouldn't stop talking about...

742
00:54:58,255 --> 00:55:00,421
how to call me. - Tenório, Tenório Júnior.

743
00:55:00,796 --> 00:55:02,546
Yeah, so nothing happened.

744
00:55:02,546 --> 00:55:03,963
Did I try to kiss you?

745
00:55:04,130 --> 00:55:06,213
Listen, it's impossible to seduce someone.

746
00:55:06,213 --> 00:55:08,005
who thinks he's a know-it-all Henry Kissinger.

747
00:55:08,171 --> 00:55:09,546
That? - Basically,

748
00:55:09,546 --> 00:55:13,046
you told me that we were to blame for all the military coups

749
00:55:13,046 --> 00:55:14,963
that there was in the 60s.

750
00:55:14,963 --> 00:55:16,921
When I tried to defend myself,

751
00:55:16,921 --> 00:55:21,130
Saying that I had nothing to do with all that, you refused to listen to me.

752
00:55:21,296 --> 00:55:24,671
So I had no choice but to lie down on the couch.

753
00:55:24,671 --> 00:55:25,963
Oh I see.

754
00:55:28,046 --> 00:55:29,213
Did you know?

755
00:55:29,505 --> 00:55:30,463
That?

756
00:55:30,463 --> 00:55:33,255
I think that's the book you should write.

757
00:55:33,421 --> 00:55:34,380
That?

758
00:55:34,380 --> 00:55:36,296
But I'm already halfway through the other one.

759
00:55:36,296 --> 00:55:40,338
Yes, but all your thoughts and attention are focused

760
00:55:40,338 --> 00:55:42,130
in the history of that man.

761
00:55:42,130 --> 00:55:43,921
I mean, you're possessed.

762
00:55:43,921 --> 00:55:48,421
Trust me, that is the book you have to write, without a doubt.

763
00:55:52,630 --> 00:55:54,630
You're going to love John.

764
00:55:55,088 --> 00:55:57,046
I used to write for The Washington Post.

765
00:55:57,713 --> 00:55:59,630
We published his book last year

766
00:55:59,630 --> 00:56:02,796
and it is his most important work so far.

767
00:56:07,421 --> 00:56:11,213
What you tell me about this pianist is not, in the least, surprising.

768
00:56:11,630 --> 00:56:13,255
They murdered hundreds of thousands of people

769
00:56:13,255 --> 00:56:14,880
during those years in many countries.

770
00:56:15,046 --> 00:56:16,046
As you can imagine,

771
00:56:16,046 --> 00:56:17,963
the vast majority were innocent people

772
00:56:17,963 --> 00:56:19,088
that had nothing to do with

773
00:56:19,088 --> 00:56:20,963
with politics or with any subversion.

774
00:56:22,046 --> 00:56:25,921
In 1954, General Stroessner staged a coup in Paraguay.

775
00:56:25,921 --> 00:56:28,296
That same year there was another coup in Guatemala,

776
00:56:28,296 --> 00:56:32,630
where 60,000 people disappeared during the 36 years that the war lasted.

777
00:56:33,296 --> 00:56:36,421
440 indigenous towns were erased from the map

778
00:56:36,421 --> 00:56:38,838
and more than 200,000 people died.

779
00:56:39,213 --> 00:56:41,046
In El Salvador and Nicaragua,

780
00:56:41,046 --> 00:56:42,463
war and dictatorships

781
00:56:42,463 --> 00:56:44,588
They left more than 150,000 dead.

782
00:56:44,838 --> 00:56:48,463
Ten years later, a military coup ended democracy in Brazil.

783
00:56:49,963 --> 00:56:52,421
In 1971, it was Bolivia's turn.

784
00:56:52,588 --> 00:56:54,921
Two years later, in 1973,

785
00:56:55,130 --> 00:56:56,380
Pinochet's coup ended

786
00:56:56,380 --> 00:56:58,463
with the government of Salvador Allende in Chile.

787
00:56:58,463 --> 00:56:59,713
That same year,

788
00:56:59,713 --> 00:57:02,713
another coup ended a long period of democracy in Uruguay.

789
00:57:02,713 --> 00:57:06,338
In 1976, after the military coup in Argentina,

790
00:57:06,338 --> 00:57:08,796
30,000 people disappeared.

791
00:57:09,796 --> 00:57:11,463
How many atrocities...

792
00:57:11,671 --> 00:57:14,005
That pianist was just one of many who died

793
00:57:14,005 --> 00:57:15,421
during Operation Condor.

794
00:57:15,588 --> 00:57:18,921
At that time, none of this was known. Everything was confidential.

795
00:57:19,130 --> 00:57:20,296
Top secret.

796
00:57:20,296 --> 00:57:24,630
The governments of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia and Uruguay

797
00:57:24,630 --> 00:57:26,296
They held a summit to collaborate

798
00:57:26,296 --> 00:57:28,588
and combat any element considered subversive.

799
00:57:28,755 --> 00:57:30,671
They could be exiles, dissidents,

800
00:57:30,671 --> 00:57:34,338
politicians, military or union or student leaders.

801
00:57:34,338 --> 00:57:36,046
Even the press, the clergy and children.

802
00:57:36,046 --> 00:57:38,505
Nobody understood why someone who had fled his country

803
00:57:38,505 --> 00:57:40,463
He could be killed or disappear into another.

804
00:57:40,463 --> 00:57:44,088
Since Latin America was a hotbed of dictators, no one investigated.

805
00:57:44,671 --> 00:57:47,255
Only years later did Operation Condor come to light.

806
00:57:47,421 --> 00:57:48,588
When? As?

807
00:57:49,046 --> 00:57:52,296
The Curia of Sao Paulo, to help the families of the disappeared,

808
00:57:52,296 --> 00:57:54,380
founded an office called Clamor.

809
00:57:54,546 --> 00:57:57,338
One of the cases they found was that of a Uruguayan woman.

810
00:57:57,505 --> 00:58:00,255
His son and his wife had gone into exile in Buenos Aires.

811
00:58:00,255 --> 00:58:03,296
They were arrested, tortured and murdered.

812
00:58:03,463 --> 00:58:05,296
They had two small children who disappeared.

813
00:58:05,296 --> 00:58:06,380
Vaya.

814
00:58:06,380 --> 00:58:10,255
Grandma wanted to know something about them, if there was any way to find them.

815
00:58:10,921 --> 00:58:13,796
One day, they received a call from Caracas.

816
00:58:15,588 --> 00:58:17,588
A woman claimed to have seen the children in the photo

817
00:58:17,755 --> 00:58:19,588
in a square in Valparaíso.

818
00:58:19,588 --> 00:58:22,713
At first, the story didn't seem very plausible:

819
00:58:22,713 --> 00:58:25,713
two Uruguayan children, missing in Argentina,

820
00:58:25,713 --> 00:58:27,755
seen by a Venezuelan woman

821
00:58:27,921 --> 00:58:28,796
in a Chilean square.

822
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,088
Still, they decided to follow the trail.

823
00:58:57,171 --> 00:58:58,255
Two days later,

824
00:58:58,255 --> 00:59:00,296
Clamor's person returned to school,

825
00:59:00,296 --> 00:59:02,755
this time with the grandmother of the two children.

826
00:59:07,046 --> 00:59:09,088
God, I can't believe it.

827
00:59:10,088 --> 00:59:11,380
It is awful.

828
00:59:11,796 --> 00:59:12,838
Pure evil.

829
00:59:12,838 --> 00:59:16,005
That was the first case that involved three of the countries involved

830
00:59:16,005 --> 00:59:17,421
in Operation Condor.

831
00:59:17,921 --> 00:59:20,713
Since then, there have been countless similar cases.

832
00:59:21,088 --> 00:59:23,755
There are still people trying to find or at least

833
00:59:23,755 --> 00:59:26,088
Find out something about your parents or your children.

834
00:59:26,088 --> 00:59:28,671
All this was done with the approval of the CIA

835
00:59:28,671 --> 00:59:30,046
and the US government.

836
00:59:30,046 --> 00:59:31,421
Already. - Do not be sad,

837
00:59:31,421 --> 00:59:33,005
There have also been exceptions. -Oh really?

838
00:59:33,171 --> 00:59:34,796
There was a young dreamer who,

839
00:59:34,796 --> 00:59:38,588
fed up with our tendency to defend democracy only for our country

840
00:59:38,588 --> 00:59:40,630
and dictatorships in the rest,

841
00:59:40,796 --> 00:59:43,421
He went to Cuba to fight with the revolutionary rebels.

842
00:59:44,088 --> 00:59:46,296
That young man was William Morgan,

843
00:59:46,296 --> 00:59:48,088
He fought in the mountains with the rebels

844
00:59:48,088 --> 00:59:50,338
and became a commander and hero of the revolution.

845
00:59:50,505 --> 00:59:52,755
And what happend with him?

846
00:59:53,171 --> 00:59:55,213
Castro ordered him executed by firing squad.

847
00:59:55,213 --> 00:59:57,505
two years after the triumph of the revolution.

848
01:00:01,546 --> 01:00:02,546
A week later,

849
01:00:02,546 --> 01:00:05,463
I was back in Rio to continue working on the book,

850
01:00:05,463 --> 01:00:08,713
only now the book was about Tenório.

851
01:00:10,671 --> 01:00:13,463
I met my friend João for dinner.

852
01:00:13,630 --> 01:00:16,255
He wanted to show me a historical place.

853
01:00:17,296 --> 01:00:22,546
This is where it all began one afternoon in April 1956.

854
01:00:22,546 --> 01:00:27,505
Jobim worked as an arranger near here, at Continental.

855
01:00:27,796 --> 01:00:29,546
After leaving work,

856
01:00:29,546 --> 01:00:31,588
I used to stop by here to have a beer.

857
01:00:32,130 --> 01:00:35,671
I was sitting at that table.

858
01:00:40,588 --> 01:00:42,630
Vinícius was having a drink

859
01:00:42,630 --> 01:00:46,213
with a friend who knew I was looking for a composer

860
01:00:46,380 --> 01:00:49,213
for his new work and insisted that he meet

861
01:00:49,380 --> 01:00:50,963
to that young man called Jobim.

862
01:00:54,963 --> 01:00:57,671
Vinícius told him that he had written

863
01:00:57,838 --> 01:01:01,005
a version of the Greek myth of Orpheus

864
01:01:01,005 --> 01:01:03,130
set in a Rio favela

865
01:01:03,130 --> 01:01:07,296
and that he was looking for someone who could write the music.

866
01:01:07,296 --> 01:01:09,088
And there will be some money, right?

867
01:01:09,255 --> 01:01:10,880
But how do you say that to the poet?

868
01:01:11,088 --> 01:01:12,963
That, to a poet, is not told.

869
01:01:14,588 --> 01:01:16,796
With the salary he earned,

870
01:01:16,796 --> 01:01:21,421
Jobim could barely make ends meet, so he accepted.

871
01:01:30,796 --> 01:01:32,380
Some days after,

872
01:01:32,380 --> 01:01:34,755
Vinícius went to Jobim's apartment

873
01:01:34,755 --> 01:01:37,005
to listen to some of the first compositions

874
01:01:37,005 --> 01:01:38,130
that he had written.

875
01:01:38,130 --> 01:01:41,588
And thus the happiest couple was born

876
01:01:41,588 --> 01:01:46,588
of Brazilian music.

877
01:01:46,921 --> 01:01:51,838
Vinícius... I would give anything to be able to talk to him.

878
01:01:52,588 --> 01:01:54,505
I have so many questions...

879
01:01:56,088 --> 01:02:00,546
By the way, I have to tell you something about the book.

880
01:02:01,463 --> 01:02:02,546
Yeah?

881
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,380
My relationship with Tenório Júnior began on the beach.

882
01:02:07,380 --> 01:02:09,380
He was quite a character,

883
01:02:09,755 --> 01:02:13,255
a very special person.

884
01:02:13,421 --> 01:02:16,171
Tenório was a clean person.

885
01:02:16,546 --> 01:02:18,255
He was out of this world.

886
01:02:18,921 --> 01:02:21,963
If he had been born in medieval times, he would have been a saint.

887
01:02:22,380 --> 01:02:25,921
He was very "white" as a jazz player,

888
01:02:26,421 --> 01:02:32,088
It happened too quickly and had an ending that didn't belong.

889
01:02:32,088 --> 01:02:34,838
He deserved to stay alive, with us.

890
01:02:37,713 --> 01:02:41,421
The greatest jazz pianist there has been in Brazil without a doubt was Tenório.

891
01:02:41,630 --> 01:02:45,505
The last time I was with Tenório

892
01:02:46,546 --> 01:02:48,046
It was in my studio,

893
01:02:48,838 --> 01:02:53,130
and he told me he was going to give a concert

894
01:02:53,130 --> 01:02:58,005
in Buenos Aires with Toquinho and Vinícius.

895
01:02:58,005 --> 01:03:03,755
I remember that I spoke with him about the situation in Argentina,

896
01:03:03,755 --> 01:03:06,796
that was complicated. I told him: "My God, Tenório.

897
01:03:06,796 --> 01:03:08,463
You need to be careful".

898
01:03:08,463 --> 01:03:10,546
He was wearing black pants, a black shirt,

899
01:03:10,546 --> 01:03:14,796
a huge black beard, and he told me: "No, nothing happens, we are with Vinícius,

900
01:03:14,796 --> 01:03:18,046
We're going to do a concert." I wasn't worried at all.

901
01:03:18,213 --> 01:03:20,130
After Tenório's disappearance,

902
01:03:20,130 --> 01:03:23,880
Someone from Argentina called me and told me:

903
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,505
"Roberto, I come from Buenos Aires.

904
01:03:26,505 --> 01:03:29,046
I was detained there and we met.

905
01:03:29,671 --> 01:03:32,255
He was there." And I said, "Why did they stop you?"

906
01:03:32,255 --> 01:03:34,880
He told me: "I don't know, they grabbed me in the middle of the street

907
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:40,546
and they questioned me several times. I don't know. "I don't know what I'm doing here."

908
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,880
Tenório interpreted everything very well.

909
01:03:45,088 --> 01:03:50,255
And it caught my attention because of the assertive approach

910
01:03:50,255 --> 01:03:53,046
that he gave to Brazilian music,

911
01:03:53,255 --> 01:03:58,546
using the type of sound that Bill Evans used.

912
01:03:58,963 --> 01:04:01,255
He was an excellent pianist.

913
01:04:01,630 --> 01:04:04,630
Tenório's hand playing the piano was something beautiful,

914
01:04:04,838 --> 01:04:06,588
your hand always in the right place.

915
01:04:06,755 --> 01:04:08,880
He played very well.

916
01:04:09,671 --> 01:04:11,005
I miss.

917
01:04:12,130 --> 01:04:13,755
Look, can I confess something to you?

918
01:04:13,755 --> 01:04:17,005
He is missing, I miss him.

919
01:04:19,505 --> 01:04:20,505
Is here.

920
01:04:22,255 --> 01:04:23,880
Who I really needed to talk to

921
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:28,630
It was with two survivors of the group that went to Uruguay and Argentina,

922
01:04:28,630 --> 01:04:30,421
Toquinho and Mutinho,

923
01:04:30,421 --> 01:04:32,838
but they were on tour outside of Brazil.

924
01:04:33,963 --> 01:04:37,296
Tenório's last concert before returning was in Buenos Aires,

925
01:04:37,296 --> 01:04:39,630
So instead of waiting for them to come back,

926
01:04:39,630 --> 01:04:43,088
I decided to meet them at the place where the events occurred.

927
01:04:44,713 --> 01:04:46,671
I took advantage of my stay in Buenos Aires

928
01:04:46,671 --> 01:04:49,630
to meet friends of Vinícius and Tenório.

929
01:07:11,630 --> 01:07:12,713
In Buenos Aires,

930
01:07:12,713 --> 01:07:16,588
I interviewed Vinícius' penultimate wife, Marta.

931
01:08:30,171 --> 01:08:32,046
I was a few blocks away

932
01:08:32,046 --> 01:08:36,421
of the places where Tenório had been the night he disappeared.

933
01:08:40,921 --> 01:08:43,963
The police station was a few minutes from the hotel,

934
01:08:43,963 --> 01:08:46,088
and that is where Tenório had passed

935
01:08:46,088 --> 01:08:49,046
the first two nights of his interrogation and torture,

936
01:08:49,046 --> 01:08:51,171
before they transferred him to the ESMA,

937
01:08:51,713 --> 01:08:54,046
the Higher School of Mechanics of the Navy.

938
01:09:18,588 --> 01:09:20,546
Thanks to the help of the Secretariat

939
01:09:20,546 --> 01:09:22,755
of Human Rights of the Argentine Nation,

940
01:09:22,755 --> 01:09:25,713
I was able to visit the infamous ESMA.

941
01:09:26,380 --> 01:09:29,880
This was where Tenório spent the last days of his life.

942
01:09:30,588 --> 01:09:33,505
It was in operation throughout the entire period of the dictatorship,

943
01:09:33,505 --> 01:09:37,005
from 1976 to 1983.

944
01:10:02,713 --> 01:10:03,755
Oh, fuck.

945
01:10:43,713 --> 01:10:45,421
Oh my god...

946
01:11:39,588 --> 01:11:40,755
My God...

947
01:11:41,088 --> 01:11:43,046
That's horrible.

948
01:11:56,755 --> 01:11:58,838
Yeah! Bravo!

949
01:12:04,588 --> 01:12:09,088
Tenório was a great accompanist and an excellent soloist.

950
01:12:09,088 --> 01:12:12,296
He was very critical, with a great sense of humor.

951
01:12:12,463 --> 01:12:16,255
We came from a paradise: Punta del Este.

952
01:12:16,255 --> 01:12:18,005
We stayed there for a month.

953
01:12:18,005 --> 01:12:22,213
During that month, he was safe, away from Brazil.

954
01:12:22,213 --> 01:12:25,255
I was going through a personal crisis.

955
01:12:25,255 --> 01:12:28,630
The holidays were over, he had to return to his reality,

956
01:12:28,630 --> 01:12:32,130
but that crisis did not surface for a single day in Punta del Este.

957
01:12:32,296 --> 01:12:35,213
The atmosphere was very tense in Buenos Aires,

958
01:12:35,213 --> 01:12:37,796
There were tanks in the streets.

959
01:12:37,796 --> 01:12:40,671
It was like a bomb that would explode at any moment,

960
01:12:40,671 --> 01:12:43,046
but we had no idea before going there.

961
01:12:43,213 --> 01:12:46,796
The police came in and searched the rooms.

962
01:12:46,963 --> 01:12:50,005
It happened to us twice at the hotel we were staying at.

963
01:12:50,630 --> 01:12:54,463
Tenório was wonderful, he was a wonderful person.

964
01:12:54,463 --> 01:13:00,088
Chevalier, very intelligent, but also very childish.

965
01:13:00,088 --> 01:13:03,296
It had something very very pure,

966
01:13:04,088 --> 01:13:05,546
it was very funny.

967
01:13:05,546 --> 01:13:07,171
We laughed a lot,

968
01:13:07,171 --> 01:13:10,755
and when we played it was wonderful.

969
01:13:10,921 --> 01:13:14,046
He brought another person, Malena, with him.

970
01:13:14,755 --> 01:13:17,755
We knew that Carmen existed.

971
01:13:18,296 --> 01:13:19,921
He had to be happy with both of them.

972
01:13:20,255 --> 01:13:23,755
He played well, he was happy, he was not sad.

973
01:13:23,755 --> 01:13:28,130
I met a friend I met in Punta del Este

974
01:13:28,130 --> 01:13:30,838
and we ate and drank wine.

975
01:13:31,213 --> 01:13:35,088
Then, on the way back, I got a little scared.

976
01:13:35,296 --> 01:13:38,963
I saw that there was a lot of commotion in the street and I was afraid of the police,

977
01:13:38,963 --> 01:13:40,213
as everyone.

978
01:13:40,380 --> 01:13:43,505
I finally got to the hotel and it was a tremendous relief.

979
01:13:43,505 --> 01:13:47,380
At 3 or 3:30 in the morning,

980
01:13:48,380 --> 01:13:50,421
Malena calls me:

981
01:13:50,755 --> 01:13:53,671
"Haven't you seen Tenório?"

982
01:13:53,671 --> 01:13:55,005
Le digo: "No, no".

983
01:13:55,005 --> 01:13:57,921
Then he told me: "He left and hasn't come back.

984
01:13:58,213 --> 01:14:01,838
"He went to buy me a sandwich and he hasn't come back yet."

985
01:14:02,546 --> 01:14:06,421
Then, at 4:30, Azeitona arrived.

986
01:14:06,755 --> 01:14:09,046
At 6 in the morning, more or less,

987
01:14:09,046 --> 01:14:12,421
everyone was in the lobby of the Normandie Hotel.

988
01:14:12,588 --> 01:14:15,796
We were all worried, scared.

989
01:14:15,963 --> 01:14:20,088
A friend of mine, Malena and I

990
01:14:20,088 --> 01:14:24,046
We took a car and went to the morgue,

991
01:14:24,546 --> 01:14:26,421
to the hospital and everywhere.

992
01:14:27,338 --> 01:14:29,921
We asked, but found nothing.

993
01:14:29,921 --> 01:14:34,005
We returned very hopeless, very,

994
01:14:34,171 --> 01:14:36,921
and we returned to Brazil.

995
01:14:53,671 --> 01:14:57,046
For a long time afterward, I was dreaming about Tenório.

996
01:14:58,380 --> 01:14:59,880
When you see a person,

997
01:15:01,255 --> 01:15:04,088
to a relative, to a friend who dies,

998
01:15:04,088 --> 01:15:06,838
you say goodbye to him.

999
01:15:07,588 --> 01:15:11,421
Now, when it disappears, you no longer forget it.

1000
01:15:11,588 --> 01:15:12,755
You don't forget it anymore.

1001
01:15:12,755 --> 01:15:13,880
Yeah, of course.

1002
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,380
I started writing a melody, a song.

1003
01:15:17,838 --> 01:15:21,171
It's a beautiful song, but I wrote the melody with...

1004
01:15:38,046 --> 01:15:40,338
Mutinho, I found the lyrics.

1005
01:15:41,005 --> 01:15:42,880
I looked it up on the Internet.

1006
01:15:45,213 --> 01:15:49,338
Mutinho wrote the melody and I wrote the lyrics.

1007
01:15:54,213 --> 01:15:58,130
Peter continued on his way,

1008
01:15:58,505 --> 01:16:02,588
Boy asked to stay,

1009
01:16:03,296 --> 01:16:07,630
Tenório went out alone at night,

1010
01:16:07,630 --> 01:16:11,796
disappeared, no one could explain it,

1011
01:16:12,630 --> 01:16:16,713
other friends are gone.

1012
01:16:17,296 --> 01:16:20,838
Maintain your ideals

1013
01:16:21,921 --> 01:16:26,213
between truth and delirium,

1014
01:16:26,588 --> 01:16:31,505
some sowed nostalgia in exile,

1015
01:16:31,505 --> 01:16:37,546
others will never return.

1016
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:40,963
We have found the letter.

1017
01:16:40,963 --> 01:16:42,963
How pretty. This song is beautiful.

1018
01:16:42,963 --> 01:16:44,505
I miss this song.

1019
01:16:45,338 --> 01:16:46,963
Asking here and there,

1020
01:16:46,963 --> 01:16:49,963
I managed to locate the one of Tenório's friends

1021
01:16:49,963 --> 01:16:52,671
who had met him the night of the concert.

1022
01:16:52,671 --> 01:16:57,296
But when they arrived, Tenório had already left and would not return.

1023
01:19:01,963 --> 01:19:04,796
"The show revealed a surprise for many viewers,

1024
01:19:04,796 --> 01:19:08,130
the brilliant performance of Tenório Júnior.

1025
01:19:08,296 --> 01:19:11,380
The pianist played an exceptional piece

1026
01:19:11,380 --> 01:19:15,255
that denoted the most authentic expression of modern Brazilian music".

1027
01:19:19,213 --> 01:19:21,255
Tenório never read this review.

1028
01:19:25,088 --> 01:19:28,588
Back in Rio, I looked for Tenório's relatives

1029
01:19:28,588 --> 01:19:31,921
that they could tell me about their childhood and youth.

1030
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:38,338
We had a neighbor who played in the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra

1031
01:19:38,796 --> 01:19:40,463
and he was his teacher.

1032
01:19:40,463 --> 01:19:44,963
He had that musical gift since he was little.

1033
01:19:45,463 --> 01:19:47,796
He respected his father a lot,

1034
01:19:47,796 --> 01:19:50,046
but I think he was very close to his mother.

1035
01:19:50,255 --> 01:19:53,505
When it all happened, she was devastated.

1036
01:19:53,505 --> 01:19:56,088
He had a stroke and became ill.

1037
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,921
He didn't stop looking for it,

1038
01:19:58,921 --> 01:20:02,088
even through Interpol, but nothing, nothing, nothing.

1039
01:20:02,088 --> 01:20:07,421
Until an Argentinian gave an interview to Senhor magazine.

1040
01:20:07,421 --> 01:20:10,130
He stayed with him and told him

1041
01:20:10,130 --> 01:20:14,171
that Tenório was murdered inside the cell

1042
01:20:14,171 --> 01:20:16,046
from a shot in the head.

1043
01:20:19,588 --> 01:20:22,130
And in the end, it seemed that they had made a pact:

1044
01:20:22,130 --> 01:20:25,963
She died one day and two days later, he.

1045
01:20:26,421 --> 01:20:27,796
I often went out with him.

1046
01:20:27,796 --> 01:20:30,130
When I played somewhere,

1047
01:20:30,130 --> 01:20:33,630
as in the Beco das Garrafas in Copacabana.

1048
01:20:41,755 --> 01:20:46,421
He was a person completely disconnected from everyday life,

1049
01:20:46,421 --> 01:20:49,380
very disconnected from material things.

1050
01:20:50,088 --> 01:20:52,088
He let himself be carried away by his music.

1051
01:20:52,088 --> 01:20:55,046
He said: "I know how to play the piano, I don't know how to make money."

1052
01:20:55,046 --> 01:20:59,338
He had a very zen way of being,

1053
01:20:59,338 --> 01:21:02,088
very Buddhist, without being one.

1054
01:21:02,255 --> 01:21:06,255
A person committed to good things,

1055
01:21:06,255 --> 01:21:07,713
with the things of nature,

1056
01:21:07,713 --> 01:21:10,963
with a very simple life, almost Franciscan.

1057
01:21:24,421 --> 01:21:26,088
He did not participate in politics.

1058
01:21:26,088 --> 01:21:30,005
He used to say: "What I like is playing the piano, not doing politics."

1059
01:21:30,213 --> 01:21:34,588
Tenório and his cousin, Luiz Roberto, were very close.

1060
01:21:34,588 --> 01:21:39,255
They studied medicine together until Tenório decided to quit.

1061
01:21:39,255 --> 01:21:41,755
and dedicate himself to music.

1062
01:21:42,463 --> 01:21:44,588
His father, in a loving way,

1063
01:21:44,588 --> 01:21:47,963
Despite being upset that he left his medical career,

1064
01:21:48,130 --> 01:21:51,671
Well, I was proud that I was going to be a doctor,

1065
01:21:51,671 --> 01:21:52,921
He gave him a piano.

1066
01:21:57,005 --> 01:22:00,213
Carmen was the strong person of the couple.

1067
01:22:00,463 --> 01:22:03,338
They went through great economic difficulties,

1068
01:22:03,338 --> 01:22:05,630
but they always overcame them with good humor.

1069
01:22:06,046 --> 01:22:08,963
So, since they were without money,

1070
01:22:09,130 --> 01:22:13,921
He told me: "I would like you to assist Carmen with her pregnancy."

1071
01:22:13,921 --> 01:22:17,213
And in the case of the last two children,

1072
01:22:17,213 --> 01:22:18,963
It was I who brought them into the world.

1073
01:22:18,963 --> 01:22:20,713
For me it was very sad,

1074
01:22:20,713 --> 01:22:24,296
because her last birth that I attended was

1075
01:22:24,713 --> 01:22:26,380
after he disappeared.

1076
01:22:28,588 --> 01:22:31,630
One day I was here at home when they called me saying

1077
01:22:31,630 --> 01:22:34,338
that there was an Argentine corporal,

1078
01:22:34,338 --> 01:22:37,046
Vallejos, in the editorial office of Isto é/Senhor.

1079
01:22:37,213 --> 01:22:39,671
Mauricio Díaz asked me to go there.

1080
01:22:39,921 --> 01:22:42,046
When he was informing us of everything,

1081
01:22:42,838 --> 01:22:48,380
The Brazilian police arrived, they had surrounded the building.

1082
01:22:48,380 --> 01:22:52,755
They said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you,

1083
01:22:52,755 --> 01:22:54,630
but we took the Argentine.

1084
01:22:54,630 --> 01:22:57,671
Because he's talking too much."

1085
01:23:01,546 --> 01:23:04,755
My brother had no furniture in the house,

1086
01:23:05,130 --> 01:23:07,546
so he made cardboard furniture.

1087
01:23:08,088 --> 01:23:12,088
Once he wrote to me saying that he had renovated the furniture,

1088
01:23:12,088 --> 01:23:16,546
that he had painted them black to change the atmosphere a little.

1089
01:23:17,588 --> 01:23:19,671
He really liked yoga.

1090
01:23:20,255 --> 01:23:22,255
He was very fond of Hindu philosophy.

1091
01:23:23,005 --> 01:23:26,130
He really liked meditation.

1092
01:23:28,421 --> 01:23:33,171
He played for himself, he played very well.

1093
01:23:33,171 --> 01:23:36,046
Whether there were people listening to him or not, he played.

1094
01:23:36,296 --> 01:23:40,588
There was a piano here and a drum set by the door to my room.

1095
01:23:41,088 --> 01:23:44,046
I slept with the sound of the drums,

1096
01:23:44,046 --> 01:23:46,880
to the point that I can sleep with any noise.

1097
01:23:54,463 --> 01:23:57,130
I found out about the case on television.

1098
01:23:57,755 --> 01:24:01,546
In the Fantastic program on Sundays they broke the news

1099
01:24:01,546 --> 01:24:03,630
that he had disappeared.

1100
01:24:04,671 --> 01:24:07,880
I was very worried about my parents.

1101
01:24:08,630 --> 01:24:14,088
My father didn't go right away because my mother had a stroke.

1102
01:24:14,088 --> 01:24:16,130
and was hospitalized.

1103
01:24:16,130 --> 01:24:20,630
So my father waited for her to get better.

1104
01:24:21,505 --> 01:24:25,296
He went to Interpol, to the police, but they didn't know anything.

1105
01:24:25,463 --> 01:24:27,421
The year he died,

1106
01:24:27,421 --> 01:24:29,463
They called my father from TV Manchete

1107
01:24:29,463 --> 01:24:33,463
and they told him that there was an Argentine, Vallejos, who wanted to talk.

1108
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:43,130
I always went with my father to these interviews,

1109
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:47,046
but this time he decided not to tell me and went alone.

1110
01:24:47,713 --> 01:24:50,630
My mother fell in the house

1111
01:24:51,838 --> 01:24:53,630
and they hospitalized her,

1112
01:24:53,630 --> 01:24:56,588
and my father did not want to stay there without her.

1113
01:24:56,796 --> 01:24:59,046
Then he started to have a series of things.

1114
01:24:59,046 --> 01:25:03,421
He died on Thursday and she on Saturday.

1115
01:25:05,088 --> 01:25:08,088
When I checked the dates, I discovered that Tenório's parents

1116
01:25:08,088 --> 01:25:10,296
They had died just on the tenth anniversary

1117
01:25:10,296 --> 01:25:11,880
of the murder of his son.

1118
01:25:17,671 --> 01:25:21,088
I worked for an organization, an entity called Clamor.

1119
01:25:21,505 --> 01:25:23,921
That's where the first information came

1120
01:25:23,921 --> 01:25:27,546
about a Brazilian, the pianist of Vinícius de Moraes,

1121
01:25:27,546 --> 01:25:29,463
who had been kidnapped in Argentina.

1122
01:25:29,630 --> 01:25:33,171
So I went to Argentina to put a paid ad

1123
01:25:33,171 --> 01:25:37,796
in the newspaper La Nación and then I went to the hotel bar.

1124
01:25:38,130 --> 01:25:41,880
The corner was full of windows.

1125
01:25:42,088 --> 01:25:46,505
There was a restaurant, a cafe and a newsstand next door.

1126
01:25:47,255 --> 01:25:49,546
I showed a photo of him to the man,

1127
01:25:49,713 --> 01:25:54,130
who remembered: "That's the Brazilian!"

1128
01:25:55,588 --> 01:26:00,130
And then he told me that they took him away in a Ford Falcon.

1129
01:26:03,171 --> 01:26:08,963
In Argentina, kidnappings usually took place in Ford Falcons.

1130
01:26:08,963 --> 01:26:11,713
It was confirmation that he had been kidnapped.

1131
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:15,796
Do you think he was kidnapped by mistake?

1132
01:26:15,796 --> 01:26:19,046
It is possible that they confused him with someone else,

1133
01:26:19,046 --> 01:26:21,671
but he was arrested by the Argentine political police.

1134
01:26:22,088 --> 01:26:24,421
Then it was a political kidnapping.

1135
01:26:25,005 --> 01:26:26,838
Ten years later,

1136
01:26:26,838 --> 01:26:31,255
A guy named Vallejos explained that,

1137
01:26:31,255 --> 01:26:36,421
In reality, Tenório was arrested and murdered

1138
01:26:36,671 --> 01:26:41,255
at the Navy Mechanics School, Captain Astiz,

1139
01:26:41,630 --> 01:26:42,838
"the angel of Death".

1140
01:26:44,463 --> 01:26:47,463
Greenhalgh told me that a young Brazilian filmmaker

1141
01:26:47,463 --> 01:26:49,880
I had recorded an interview with Vallejos years ago

1142
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,671
while making a short documentary about Tenório.

1143
01:26:53,838 --> 01:26:56,963
{\an8}The process of obtaining testimonials

1144
01:26:56,963 --> 01:27:02,421
{\an8}both the father and Carmen took me a long time.

1145
01:27:02,421 --> 01:27:08,088
{\an8}I had to earn their trust in order to make the film.

1146
01:27:08,546 --> 01:27:12,171
The first contact was difficult because he didn't want to talk.

1147
01:27:12,338 --> 01:27:16,463
At that time, his wife was sick.

1148
01:27:16,463 --> 01:27:21,088
And he was very attentive to her.

1149
01:27:21,088 --> 01:27:23,588
He seemed like a very strong person,

1150
01:27:23,588 --> 01:27:27,630
but this whole story left him devastated.

1151
01:27:27,796 --> 01:27:30,630
He was a man who had served the State,

1152
01:27:30,630 --> 01:27:36,213
but when he needed him to help him locate his son,

1153
01:27:36,213 --> 01:27:38,713
The State did not help him.

1154
01:27:39,088 --> 01:27:40,130
Rolling.

1155
01:27:41,588 --> 01:27:43,213
We did not have money.

1156
01:27:43,505 --> 01:27:48,546
It took me, I think, something like three months.

1157
01:27:48,546 --> 01:27:53,796
in getting him to agree to record the interview.

1158
01:27:53,963 --> 01:27:55,088
Ten years later,

1159
01:27:55,088 --> 01:27:59,796
I decided to do a screening at the Museum of Image and Sound

1160
01:27:59,796 --> 01:28:04,588
of Rio de Janeiro, to remember the disappearance of Tenório.

1161
01:28:04,963 --> 01:28:10,880
They told me that there was a person, a foreigner, who was looking for me.

1162
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:12,213
That person was Vallejos.

1163
01:28:12,380 --> 01:28:16,421
At that moment a very curious process began.

1164
01:28:16,421 --> 01:28:20,755
He would hang up the phone saying, "I'll call you in half an hour."

1165
01:28:20,755 --> 01:28:24,588
And I changed phones.

1166
01:28:41,005 --> 01:28:42,796
Rogério told Vallejos

1167
01:28:42,796 --> 01:28:47,296
that he was interested in recording an interview and Vallejos accepted.

1168
01:28:48,005 --> 01:28:51,505
But at the last minute, Vallejos showed up asking for money.

1169
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:54,421
He wanted $2,000 for the interview.

1170
01:28:54,421 --> 01:28:55,671
So I told him:

1171
01:28:55,671 --> 01:28:59,963
"I have gone into debt, I spent money I didn't have.

1172
01:28:59,963 --> 01:29:03,630
I would never pay to interview you,

1173
01:29:03,630 --> 01:29:06,088
You have to do the interview no matter what."

1174
01:31:04,421 --> 01:31:08,796
I kept in touch with Vallejo and Mauricio Díaz, from Senhor magazine,

1175
01:31:08,796 --> 01:31:11,546
He called me a day or two later.

1176
01:31:11,713 --> 01:31:13,505
I had decided to do a report

1177
01:31:13,505 --> 01:31:16,796
and published a ten-page story plus the cover.

1178
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:36,338
How he died?

1179
01:31:38,671 --> 01:31:39,713
Who shot?

1180
01:31:41,338 --> 01:31:42,588
While he was in the cell?

1181
01:31:44,338 --> 01:31:45,421
Did you witness it?

1182
01:32:25,755 --> 01:32:26,796
¡Hola!

1183
01:32:36,005 --> 01:32:37,171
During all this time,

1184
01:32:37,171 --> 01:32:40,380
There was someone I would have given anything to talk to.

1185
01:32:41,005 --> 01:32:45,338
and, although he had been dead for 30 years, it was as if he still had something to say.

1186
01:32:45,505 --> 01:32:47,671
I have not seen it yet,

1187
01:32:47,671 --> 01:32:49,171
but it seems that the interview

1188
01:32:49,171 --> 01:32:52,380
It was done in Vinícius's apartment on the morning of the coup.

1189
01:32:52,380 --> 01:32:55,046
- OK. - That's why it was never broadcast.

1190
01:32:55,046 --> 01:32:56,921
- OK. - It is in 16 millimeters

1191
01:32:56,921 --> 01:32:58,796
and only one copy exists. - Brilliant.

1192
01:33:32,338 --> 01:33:36,588
Well, we all have a lot of concern

1193
01:33:36,588 --> 01:33:41,463
because it is a very mysterious disappearance.

1194
01:33:43,046 --> 01:33:45,880
We leave the theater

1195
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:50,963
and then I guess, as I usually did,

1196
01:33:50,963 --> 01:33:55,921
He went out to eat something, a sandwich, and never came back.

1197
01:33:59,171 --> 01:34:02,296
Tomorrow night it will be one week.

1198
01:34:06,296 --> 01:34:10,046
Nothing at all, it was totally apolitical.

1199
01:34:10,046 --> 01:34:13,838
He was a musician, he only cared about music.

1200
01:34:13,838 --> 01:34:16,671
He led a life as a musician.

1201
01:34:16,671 --> 01:34:19,505
For me it is a very painful moment,

1202
01:34:19,505 --> 01:34:21,338
not only because he was my friend,

1203
01:34:21,338 --> 01:34:24,671
but also because he was an extraordinary musician,

1204
01:34:24,671 --> 01:34:27,046
a human being of the best quality,

1205
01:34:27,046 --> 01:34:29,421
an incredibly sweet man,

1206
01:34:29,421 --> 01:34:33,088
with great serenity, incapable of harming anyone.

1207
01:34:33,338 --> 01:34:35,505
And for all those reasons,

1208
01:34:35,505 --> 01:34:38,671
his mysterious disappearance

1209
01:34:39,255 --> 01:34:43,255
It leaves us in a state of great anguish.

1210
01:34:43,963 --> 01:34:47,463
We are all attentive to any phone call.

1211
01:34:47,463 --> 01:34:50,838
I have practically not left the house for this reason.

1212
01:35:06,296 --> 01:35:08,088
All that remained of Tenório were

1213
01:35:08,088 --> 01:35:11,713
fragments scattered in the memory of a handful of people.

1214
01:35:12,255 --> 01:35:14,713
I'll never know if he went out for a sandwich,

1215
01:35:14,921 --> 01:35:16,921
medications or cigarettes

1216
01:35:17,630 --> 01:35:18,921
when he disappeared.

1217
01:35:19,921 --> 01:35:21,630
But when people talked about him,

1218
01:35:21,838 --> 01:35:24,338
there were certain things

1219
01:35:24,338 --> 01:35:26,338
that were repeated over and over again:

1220
01:35:26,338 --> 01:35:29,505
He was funny, smart,

1221
01:35:29,921 --> 01:35:34,171
pure, shy, ironic.

1222
01:35:37,296 --> 01:35:39,005
Among Tenório's papers,

1223
01:35:39,005 --> 01:35:44,505
I found a score dedicated to his favorite Brazilian pianist.

1224
01:35:44,505 --> 01:35:47,213
It's called Viva Donato .

1225
01:35:48,588 --> 01:35:50,296
I think it's you.

1226
01:35:50,463 --> 01:35:52,005
There is only one Donato.

1227
01:36:12,255 --> 01:36:13,880
After so many atrocities,

1228
01:36:14,588 --> 01:36:16,338
I had almost forgotten that Tenório was,

1229
01:36:16,338 --> 01:36:21,130
above all, a fabulous pianist.

1230
01:36:22,421 --> 01:36:24,296
But also a friend,

1231
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:26,838
but whom I will never know

1232
01:36:26,838 --> 01:36:29,421
and with whom I will never be able to talk about music over a beer.

1233
01:36:31,171 --> 01:36:32,963
No one can do it justice.

1234
01:36:35,713 --> 01:36:39,088
I hope this book saves you,

1235
01:36:39,088 --> 01:36:40,546
at least momentarily,

1236
01:36:40,546 --> 01:36:43,421
forgetfulness.

1237
01:36:45,046 --> 01:36:46,130
Gracias.
