ior, un pianista cuya prometedora carrera se vio truncada por los injustos azares del destino en uno de los capítulos más oscuros de la historia latinoamericana.

Francisco Tenório Cerqueira Júnior nació en Río de Janeiro y fue uno de los pianistas más reconocidos del movimiento samba-jazz. Solía tocar en Copacabana, cuna de la mejor música brasilera, y formó parte de Os Cobras, una banda instrumental de gran prestigio. A las tres de la mañana del 18 de marzo de 1976, después de dar un concierto en el Gran Rex de Buenos Aires junto a Vinicius de Moraes y Toquinho, el pianista salió a por cigarrillos y medicamentos. Esa sería la última vez que se le vería con vida: Tenório Junior nunca regresó al hotel donde se alojaba. Tenía 34 años. Qué ocurrió esa noche? Es la pregunta que mueve al narrador de They Shot the Piano Player a iniciar una investigación sobre el fatídico acontecimiento que acabó con la vida de un músico destinado a cambiar para siempre el rumbo de la música brasilera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A moving homage to Tenório Junior, a pianist whose promising career was cut short by a cruel twist of fate in one of the darkest chapters in Latin American history.

Born in Río de Janeiro, Francisco Tenório Cerqueira Júnior was one of the best-known piano players on the samba-jazz scene. He was a fixture of Copacabana, the cradle of Brazilian music, and a member of Os Cobras, a highly respected instrumental group. At 3:00 a.m. on March 18, 1976, after performing alongside Vinicius de Moraes and Toquinho at the Gran Rex in Buenos Aires, he left the hotel where he was staying to buy cigarettes and medicine but never returned. He was just 34 years old. What happened that night? Tortured by this question, the narrator of They Shot the Piano Player launches an investigation into the fateful circumstances that ended the life of a musician destined to change the course of Brazilian music.
