We are very sad to share news of the untimely pass

We are very sad to share news of the untimely passing of Eduardo "Dudu" Ferreira of @chorodas3. Dudu was a wonderful father and musician—he brought up his daughters in the choro tradition and played pandeiro alongside them through their many international tours together as a family.

Samba Jig was fortunate to bring Choro Das Três to Maryland in 2017, 2018, and 2019 to share their music and charisma with our community. We have gotten to know Dudu and his immensely talented and kind family over the years. We were always impressed by their energy and enthusiasm as they traveled across the country in their Choromobile RV.

Our hearts are with Elisa, Lia, Corina, and their mother, Cristina, during this difficult time.

Que ele descanse em paz e que vocês possam celebrar a vida dele com muitos mais anos de música. Abraços fortes ❤️
