Diego Frazão Torquato, nicknamed "Diego do Violino" (1997 – Duque de Caxias, 1 April 2010), was a Brazilian violinist who became famous for a photograph in which he is shown playing a violin at his teacher's funeral. The newspaper O Globo called the image "one of the most moving in recent times". Torquato was part of the AfroReggae String Orchestra, and the image subsequently "became a symbol of hope" for the fight against leukemia and gained the group popularity. Slipped Disc called him "the boy who moved a world to tears."
