Dinho
Alecsander Alves Leite (March 5, 1971 – March 2, 1996), better known as Dinho (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈdʒĩɲu]), was a Brazilian singer, songwriter, and comedian who was the lead singer of the satirical rock band Mamonas Assassinas.
Born in Bahia and raised in Guarulhos, Dinho started receiving singing lessons at age five. He was considered a mischievous student and eventually dropped out of high school. In July 1990, he joined the rock band Utopia in Guarulhos, while working simultaneously in other professions, such as within an office job while pursuing comedy. Dinho and the other Utopia members were unsuccessful in promoting the group and finding commercial success at this time. Upon realizing that satirical songs were more popular than serious ones, they were convinced to rebrand the group as a comedy band, Mamonas Assassinas, in 1995.
Within weeks, the band achieved great popularity, performing in concerts across Brazil and making frequent media appearances. On 2 March 1996, the band members perished in a plane crash in Serra da Cantareira. The band has since become iconic in Brazilian popular culture.
