“As a guitarist, he's an exceptional and idiosyncratic exponent of the Afro-Brazilian tradition that has produced such similarly gifted artists as Bola Sete, Egberto Gismonti, and Celso's occasional collaborators Sergio and Odair Assad. On percussion, he's uniquely able to conjure up the sounds of the rainforest, leading his listeners into its enchanted depths through hypnotic rhythms and birdcall sound effects. This eclectic multi-instrumentalist has been a Canadian resident since 1989, but he's really a citizen of the world.
