Moacir Santos (26 July 1926 – 6 August 2006)[1] was a Brazilian composer, multi-instrumentalist and music educator. Musicians such as Baden Powell, Bola Sete and Wilson das Neves studied under him. As a composer, Santos worked with Nara Leão, Roberto Menescal, Sérgio Mendes and Lynda Laurence, among others.[2][3] His music was highly respected by musicians in Brazil and the United States, despite never achieving wider recognition.[4][5]
Mark Levine, Anat Cohen, and Muiza Adnet have all released albums consisting entirely of Santos' music.
