Mamonas Assassinas: jacket found on the coffin had the band's symbol and the Brazilian flag; see photos

A jacket associated with the Mamonas Assassinas band was found intact on the coffin of singer Dinho during an exhumation in Brazil.

During the exhumation of the bodies of the Mamonas Assassinas members, a jacket was discovered intact on the coffin of singer Dinho at the Primaveras Cemetery in Guarulhos, SΓ£o Paulo. This jacket, which bore the band's symbol and the Brazilian flag, was initially placed there by the family on the day of the funeral. Exclusive photos of the jacket were obtained by TV Globo and G1, highlighting the continued interest in the band and their legacy.

The Mamonas Assassinas band members, including Dinho, operational ever since the tragic plane crash on March 2, 1996, were significant cultural figures in Brazil, known for their humor and music that captured the public's imagination. Jorge Santana, the CEO of the Mamonas brand, shared insights on the significance of the jacket, emphasizing its cultural and historical value as part of the band's memorabilia.

Dinho's father, Hildebrando Alves Leite, expressed the family's intentions to donate the jacket to the FIG-Unimesp University Center museum in Guarulhos, which would allow it to be part of a permanent exhibition. This initiative reflects not only a tribute to the band’s legacy but also aims to preserve their cultural impact for future generations of fans and visitors exploring Brazil's music history.
