João Eduardo de Salles Nobre, known as Dudu Nobre, is a Brazilian composer and singer. He is the son of João Nobre and Anita Nobre. His mother controlled three pagode bands, where Dudu, already in his infancy, used to play with tam-tam and pandeiro. As a result, when he was six years old, he started to study piano and three years later received the instrument that would never separate from him—the cavaquinho.
