"Virtuoso Brazilian guitarist, percussionist, multi-instrumentalist and composer, Celso Machado transports his audiences through the richness and diversity of Brazilian music and beyond. Brazilian music has arisen out of the blending of classical European, African, Portuguese and Indigenous influences. Where Celso's music is rooted in Brazilian rhythmic and melodic styles, it also reflects his incurable fascination with other world music traditions. He finds similarities between the music of south Italy and northeast Brazil, the Egyptian maqsoum and the Brazilian baião rhythm, the Moroccan gnawa rhythm and afoxé and samba. Celsoincorporates these influences into his own sound: his own unique contribution to the ongoing evolution of Braziliam music.
"Drawing on his thorough study of classical guitar, Celso composes for guitar and ensemble. His remarkably innovative compositions are infused with a richknowledge of the traditional music of Brazil: samba,choro, baião, frevo etc. http://www.celsomachado.com
