Antônio Pedro Dantas (June 13, 1871 – February 7, 1940), better known as Tonheca Dantas, was a prolific Brazilian composer and bandleader (maestro), author of an estimated repertoire of over a thousand musical pieces. Born in the locality of Carnaúba de Baixo, then part of the municipality of Acari, Rio Grande do Norte, he was the son of João José Dantas, a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard, and Vicência Maria do Espírito Santo, a formerly enslaved woman. He belonged to a family with a musical tradition, being the cousin of fellow composer and conductor Felinto Lúcio Dantas.
