Poet, diplomat, lyricist, and co-author of Garota de Ipanema and Orfeu Negro, and a central figure of bossa nova despite never primarily being a musician. He died in 1980. The street in front of the Garota de Ipanema bar is named after him. He is buried not far from his old songwriting partner Tom Jobim.
