She had also published a text celebrating, during the surgery, that the new valve had been implanted and his heart was now working on its own.

João Carreiro was born in Cuiabá, on November 24, 1982, and became nationally known during the period in which he formed a duo with the singer Capataz. Among the duo’s hits is the song Raw, rustic and systematicwhich was part of the soundtrack for the soap opera Paraíso, on TV Globo, in 2009.

Since 2014, João had been pursuing a solo career, following the duo’s separation. “I received this sad news alongside my daughter, who is now 21 years old. I remember when we started (she was in her mother’s belly), she cried next to me. No one but us knows what we experience. God knows my heart. Go in peace, João, God comfort your family and welcome you with open arms”, wrote Capataz on the social network.

In their profile, the duo Maiara and Maraísa also mourned the singer’s death. “We are still far from understanding the bigger plans for us and, therefore, we ask God to illuminate your passage and comfort all your family and loved ones. His music is his legacy, country music is his flag and his voice is his identity.”
