Hey you! Just wrapped up recording Jon Gold's album produced by Scott Anderson. Such great music and a beautiful work put by these 2 men. I'm very excited because this work inspired me for a different approach with new sounds and solutions. Stay tuned...

Hello all. Yes, I'm back from Brazil since November 25 of last year. I'll make a long story short. Since my return until couple of days ago, me and Lisette have been involved in moving and that took a lot of time away from me. Now, my duty is to put you up to par with what is going on musically here in New York with me. Well, the most remarkable event, since my return from Brazil, was me recording with Harry Belafonte on his latest album. Obviously it was a great experience and, more than anything, it was great to meet such an icon. Also, two more records that I had recorded earlier last year came out: "Samba to Go" (Zoho) of Hendrik Meurkens and "Courageous Hearts" of Towner Galaher. Once again, and gladly so, I subbed for Scott Ketner at his Brazilian Percussion class at New School. I resumed my classes at Community Roots with my 1st and 2nd graders. Recorded for Big Foote Studios on a pilot for a Brazilian animation film. Played with DJ True at the BAM Cafe. Forro Dodoi is in full steam (we are playing at AJI on Friday, 30). Last, but not least, I'm gearing up with the guys from the Kids Music Underground for a Brazil tour just before Carnaval.
Wheel of Choro

Hey, by the way Choro Ensemble still exists and playing – obviously, but when Pedro and/or Anat are not in town we will call it Wheel of Choro which will be a collective of our long-time and/or new friends that love to play choro. Wheel of Choro has a weekly gig at Miss Favela, in Williamsburg-Brooklyn. Please check “EVENTS” to find details. In the meantime I´m dealing with Zinc Bar to have our act returning there. Peace.
At Contemporanea II

As you might have noticed, I am using my site as a vehicle to donate money and goods to a non-profit organization in Brazil, GRUCON. That tab is still under construction pending some paper work. Nonetheless, my friend Roberto from Contemporanea approved a very sound donation in instruments totaling over 1,000 Reais. Roberto and his staff - Verlandia, Wilson, Rodrigo , among others - were extremely helpful and I thank them in name of GRUCON/Cachoeiras de Macacu.
