(DJ Serralheiro in action)
Passionate about reggae, Serralheiro made 28 trips to London and 17 to Jamaica without even speaking the language, solely to search for records to play on his sound system in São Luís. He was one of the pioneers of reggae in Maranhão, introducing Jamaican music amid other rhythms such as merengue and lambada. Rest in peace.
