The editorsof Audiomusica TICO-ALEGRE mentioned in their latest edition the following: "Even though FEATURED ALBUMS OF THE WEEK all the Audiomusica staff were willing to continue the venture of keeping alive the great work of a person who was our example and guide, Otto Mayer-Serra's desire was to take his work with him. It was his last desire that his life long work die with him. We accept his decision and with the same sorrow that we felt his death we regret to inform the disappearance of Audio- musica." Our column couldn't contain this week any additional information.Rest in peace, Otto Mayer -Serra; and our deepest sympathy to his staff.
