"I was in Perth to run workshops & perform with SUINGUE BRAZUCA (my Brazilian Jazz Quartet) at Kulcha Festival when a friend took me to the Deen to see the amazing Brazilian musician & singer Marcio Mendes perform with local band Sambalicious. Marcio saw me in the crowd and, during the break, invited me to conduct Beleza's bateria and perform along with him and Sambalicious.
I happily accepted the invitation !!! I went to the band's room were Beleza were warming up and I've showed them the caixa & 3rd surdo patterns I play with MelSamba (my bateria from Melbourne) and an old repinique call from the 50's. That's was the only thing we rehearsed... The rest was all improvised...
I thank Marcio & the Sambalicious crew for the great time I had with them and, especially, the Beleza bateria who played really really well and who filled my old heart with so much joy!!! "
