Tenório Jr.

Francisco Tenório Júnior (born July 4, 1940 in Rio de Janeiro – disappeared and dead in March, 1976) was a Brazilian musician and composer. Despite recording only one album as a solo artist, he was considered one of the best pianists of his generation, and his fame as a virtuoso creator has increased over the years.

Tenório Júnior went missing under mysterious circumstances in Argentina during the first year of that country's last civil-military dictatorship: in March 1976, while on tour at Buenos Aires with Toquinho and Vinícius de Moraes, he went out one night to buy cigarettes, and he was never seen again; it was quickly surmised that he might have been rounded up by the dictatorship's security forces and supposedly kidnapped, being subsequently thrown in jail, tortured and murdered.
