Sérgio Ricardo, born João Lutfi on June 18, 1932, in Marília, São Paulo, was a Brazilian singer, composer, and award-winning film director. He recorded his first 78 rpm in 1957 through RGE, and soon after, his composition "Buquê de Isabel" was recorded by Maysa. This led to his invitation to join a TV station as a soap opera actor, allowing him to work in both music and television. In the late 1950s, Sérgio became part of the Bossa nova movement and released one of the first Bossa Nova albums, "Não Gosto Mais de Mim/ A Bossa romântica," in 1960. His growing awareness of political and social issues influenced his music and filmmaking. He created his first short film, "O Menino da Calça Branca," in 1961, which won several awards at film festivals in 1962. He followed this with longer, award-winning films such as "Esse Mundo É Meu" (1964), "Juliana Do Amor Perdido" (1968), and "A Noite Do Espantalho" (1973). Throughout his film projects, Sérgio continued to record albums and produced many successful soundtracks for movies and TV plays, receiving acclaim at various film festivals. In 1991, he published his book "Quem Quebrou meu Violão" and was also a painter. Sérgio Ricardo passed away
