The death of Sambista Arrindo Cruz, who took place on Friday (8 August), at the age of 66, mobilized honors of friends and admirers. Among these, Dudu Nobre provided an emotional tribute during the “It’s Home” program on Saturday morning (9 August). The singer participated in the attraction to celebrate the ten years of the program, but the memory of his friend marked his participation.
Arrindo Cruz has faced the sequences of a stroke since 2017. According to Dudu, the period was a lot of struggle and courage on the part of the composer, who became a reference in Brazilian samba for its over a thousand compositions. The funeral was scheduled for Saturday, on the blockade of the Serrano Empire, while the burial was scheduled for Sunday (10 August), at the cemetery of Jardim da Saudade, in Rio de Janeiro.
In the program, Dudu led a repertoire in honor of his friend, playing successes such as “the show must continue”, eternalized by Arrindo. The Sambista stressed that the mission is now to preserve the inheritance left by the partner, underlining the importance of keeping the memory of those who have contributed to writing the history of the genre alive.
“We were already preparing, our warrior, our rested giant. He fought, a fight, a very strong war. Our mission is to eternalize this great name of samba. For me it was a privilege to be able to live and live at the same time of Arrindo Cruz.
The friendship between the two soon began, when Dudu was only five years old. Since then, they have shared phases, compositions and personal moments, strengthening a bond that went beyond music. The singer described Arrindo as a loyal and current partner, always willing to offer words of incentive.
“For those who lived, he was my music partner, we were always together, a fantastic friend, what he is at home, takes the phone and calls you:” So my complicated, it is complicated there, but it will improve “.
In addition to the musical memories, Dudu recalled the role of Arrindo as a representative of the suburb of Rio and the simple and cheerful way of living. For him, this essence marked the trajectory of the Sambista and deserves to be celebrated with his work.
“He missed him very much, from the accident. He represents the suburb, that way of living life as if he were, well. Today it will be a call and a big party that Arrindo deserves.”
Arrindo’s family asked their present in the wake of wearing clear clothes, symbolizing the light and joy he transmitted. The climate of farewell, however, was also the celebration of a life dedicated to Brazilian samba and popular culture.
