Edu da Gaita[1] (lit. Edu of the Harp), born Eduardo Nadruz (December 13, 1916 – August 23, 1982), was a Brazilian musician.
At the end of the 1950s, Radamés Gnattali befriended Edu, composing a concert for harmonica and orchestra dedicated to him and, in 1960, taking him on tour in Europe and South America with his sextet in a government-funded program called III Caravana Oficial de Música Popular Brasileira. The tour was recorded and generated two albums: Radamés na Europa, com seu Sexteto e Edu – vol. 1[2] and Radamés na Europa, com seu Sexteto e Edu – vol. 2,[citation needed] all by Odeon Records.
In 2022, in his behalf, the state of São Paulo passed a bill declaring August 23 as "Dia Nacional da Gaita e do Gaitista" (National Day of the Harp and the Harp Player)[3].
