Luciano Gallet

In 1917, he studied harmony with Darius Milhaud. In 1922, he started to conduct the choir and the orchestra of the Instituto Nacional de Música and in 1926 he became publisher of the music magazine Weco. In 1930 he was one of the founders of the Associação Brasileira de Música and became Director of the Instituto Nacional de Música. Gallet spearheaded a campaign called Reagir! (to fight back) in 1930 to "rescue" Brazilian music and culture from what he saw as popular indifference. His initial article, published in the newspaper O Globo, was republished and circulated widely. He, along with Mário de Andrade, pioneered the study of Brazilian folk music. Gallet was married to Luisa Gallet until his death in 1931. She later married Arthur Ramos, a physician and anthropologist.
