An iconic jacket belonging to the Mamonas Assassinas band has been found on vocalist Dinho's coffin during an exhumation in São Paulo, leading to discussions about its future display in a memorial.
Recently, an iconic jacket worn by Dinho, the lead vocalist of the Brazilian band Mamonas Assassinas, was discovered intact on his coffin during an exhumation process in São Paulo. This jacket was originally placed on the coffin during Dinho's funeral in 1996, after the band tragically lost all its members in an airplane crash. The process of exhumation was undertaken to preserve the remains and confirm the resting place of the band members, a poignant moment for fans and the music community alike.
The information about the jacket’s discovery was confirmed through a social media announcement from the band and statements made by Jorge Santana, the CEO of the Mamonas Assassinas group. Following the recovery of the jacket, it has been placed in the custodianship of the cemetery. Discussions have begun regarding including it as part of a memorial dedicated to the band, which is intended to honor the musicians who have been immortalized in Brazilian culture.
In addition to the jacket, plans for the memorial site have been announced, which will feature five trees—each symbolizing one of the band members—as a tribute to their legacy. Jorge Santana emphasized that the memorial will serve as a place of remembrance and reflection, accessible for fans at no cost. Although a specific date for the memorial's opening has not yet been revealed, it signals a new chapter in honoring the artistic impact and the memories of the Mamonas Assassinas.
