Ariel, Marcos - Bambu
SKU
15-WHATMUSIC0085
Typical, mostly instrumental, laid-back and sunny, Brasilian fusion-samba, led by Marcos Ariel who plays Fender Rhodes and acoustic piano. Lots of laid back grooves with nice guitar, sax, bass, drums and percussion work. This is a record you play with the lights low when you bring your date back to your place for a drink...
"The album Bambu was my first phonographic work and it was the accomplishment of a dream that had begun when I was 9 years old and was beginning my classical piano studies. When I was 15 years old, I'd started to be interested in Choro and Jazz, and because of the Music of Pixinguinha, I began to study the flute. While I was attending Hermeto Paschoal's first show in 1972, in Rio de Janeiro, I found my calling in the complex diversity of World Music. After this show of Hermeto's, I attended shows by Egberto Gismonti, Victor Assis Brasil, Luis Eça, Tom Jobim, Azymuth, Milton Nascimento, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, and other great musicians who also influenced me in my work and on my first album."
