Gilles Peterson wrote: “RIP to the great Mamao. Shocked to hear of Ivan Conti’s passing overnight. He was behind a multitude of stone cold classics that dominate our collections… but more than anything he was the pulse of the great @azymuthoficial …. Jazz Carnival and beyond… my true entry point to Brazilian music… Joe Davis @farout_recordings was talking to him about the next European tour last night.. the band never stopped operating and he was super excited as usual to be playing gigs in Europe. Mamao was also a very active participant in progressing musician’s rights and he became a rock for countless musicians. He will be dearly missed.”
Rafeal Baratta wrote : “Very sad with the news of Master Ivan Conti Mamão . His drumming was one of a kind Within seconds we already knew who the drummer was. When I was 14 years old I was invited by the pianist HelioCelso to participate in his album Sonho Carioca. This was my “debut” in the world of CDs. And next to me was Mamão. I recorded half of the album with Paulo Russo and he recorded the other half with Jorge Helder with whom I continued recording and playing in various projects to this day. Mummy you are a reference 🙏. Your legacy will be honored For me and many of his fans. Spent all week listening to Emilio Santiago ft Azymuth… what a thing… and what an honor ❤️ May God have him 🙏🙏 Strength To The Family ❤️”
One of the worst things anyone can go through in life is losing a loved one. Any journey must have a destination at the end. The person’s time on earth has regrettably come to an end now that they have died. We wish him eternal peace and send our thoughts and prayers to his loved ones, family, friends. May he rest in peace.
