The parentage of the Brazilian composer Glauco Velasquez was carefully concealed during his life-time and in subsequent biographical notices. He was, it seems, the illegitimate son of a notable singer in Rio de Janeiro and a woman of good family, who took refuge in Naples for the birth of her son and later "adopted" him, when he was brought back to Brazil. His style of composition is French rather than South American, echoing contemporary styles of writing in Paris.
