According to Ultima Segundo, Daniel Pellegrine, better known as funk artist MC Daleste, was midway through his set at a show in Campinas, Brazil, late Saturday when he sustained a single bullet wound to the chest. Pellegrine was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The shooting was caught on video by a concertgoer and uploaded to YouTube. In the footage, Pellegrine appears to be introducing a song to the crowd when he slumps to the ground, dropping the microphone. A photographer who was onstage next to Pellegrine is seen attempting to help the fallen singer as fans, realizing what they just saw, scream in terror.
Another Warrior, another MC of the Funk spiritually leaves us [unexpectedly]. He left the stage without saying goodbye, a victim of intolerance! A great loss to our family of Funk! I hope God gives strength to the family, friends, and fans of my good friend MC Daleste, a guy who only wanted to convey joy to everyone through his music. It is a pity that the peace which we dream of, we often only get when we close our eyes. However, while my eyes are open, I will fight … I will persist. Our goal has always been and will always be that. Take all a positive message: fight for every dream ... To realize it! MC Daleste did his part and will always be remembered. It is in peace Warrior of the funk!
