MARCHINHO PEREIRA drums.
'Brazilian Landscapes' is the new project conceived by Mario Bakuna with arrangements by Mario Bakuna, Matheus Nova, Marcinho Pereira, and Sam Watts. The band will play some original compositions and re-read great composers such as Emilio Santiago, Marcos Valle, Claudio Bertrami, Rique Pantoja, Toninho Horta, Johnny Alf, Edu Lobo, and the 'Forrozeiro' Dominguinhos, in a remarkable performance that celebrates the best of Brazilian Music.
'Brazilian landscapes' is the result of years of inspiration traveling throughout Brazil and experiencing its rhythmic and harmonic richness. The arid landscape in the Northeast of Brazil that's brought to the chorus of songs of forró, baião and xaxado. The African influence found in Ijexá. The popularity of Samba. The sophistication of Bossa Nova. 'Brazilian landscapes' is a painting of the culture and memory of the Brazilian people at the height of creation.
