Daniel Pedreira Senna Pellegrine (30 October 1992 – 7 July 2013), better known by his stage name MC Daleste, was a Brazilian funk paulista singer, songwriter and rapper.

Early life and career

MC Daleste was born on 30 October 1992 in Penha, São Paulo, Brazil. He began his career in 2009, composing his first funk songs and had his first hit after releasing "Pedra da Exaltação".

Death

Daleste was fatally shot in the abdomen while performing during a free show at 22:40 BRT on 6 July 2013 in Campinas, São Paulo.[1] He died later the following day, at 0:55 BRT, in Paulínia's City Hospital.[2][3][4] Police in Campinas claim to be continuing to investigate the shooting with approximately one hundred testimonials, videos, and photos received.[needs update] A number of pictures taken from the stage have been deemed fundamental to the case by an investigator.[5]

The Brazilian funk scene has turned violent within the last couple of years,[when?] with a number of MCs being killed including Felipe Boladão, MC Carecasdades, MC Primo, and MC Duda Marapé, in addition to Daleste.[4]

His life and death are depicted in the 2024 Globoplay documentary series MC Daleste - Mataram o Pobre Loco.[6]
