Bollywood Fever: Brazilian rock singer Ayres Sasaki tragically passed away at the age of 35 after being electrocuted onstage in the resort town of Salinópolis, Pará, last weekend.
Reports indicate that Sasaki received a fatal electric shock during his performance on July 13. Some accounts suggest he was electrocuted while embracing a wet fan, while others claim the incident occurred while he was playing his guitar. Despite immediate resuscitation attempts, Sasaki died on the scene at the Solar Hotel in Salinópolis.
Sasaki leaves behind his wife, Mariana, a nurse whom he married just 11 months ago, according to news conglomerate Globo. The local police in Salinópolis, along with the civil police of the state of Pará, are investigating the exact cause of his death.
Originally from Belém, the capital and largest city of Pará, Sasaki was not only a talented singer but also an architect. He began his music career in 2017, performing throughout Pará with his band and even opening for the renowned São Paulo hardcore group CPM 22 in 2021.
Last October, Sasaki shared a touching Instagram montage of his wedding to Mariana, captioning it: “Eternity awaits us, my love.”
Multiple Brazilian media outlets, including Correio Braziliense and Istoé, reported that the hug from the drenched fan caused his death. However, other sources, such as Diário do Pará, claim he was playing the guitar when the fatal jolt occurred.
Following his death on Saturday night, a wake was held on Sunday, and he was interred in his hometown the following day. The Solar Hotel issued a statement on Sunday promising support to Sasaki’s family regarding the necessary arrangements.
Adriano Freitas, a fellow singer and friend, remembered Sasaki fondly: “A super charismatic guy, his talent was absurd. He was the best voice and guitar player in Belém! A great friend, a great family man, attentive to his friends and to those who liked his work.” Freitas recalled an instance where Sasaki played for 12 hours straight at a private concert, earning the nickname “the king of encores.”
Comedian Natto Almeida, who performed with Sasaki, also remembered his “good heart and politeness,” highlighting the profound impact he had on those around him. The music community mourns the loss of a talented artist taken too soon.
