Product Description As an exile in Scotland from Brazil, Mario Caribé has brought his virtuoso bass playing to our shores and contributed magnificently to many Caber releases. On this release he brings the style and sophistication of Jobim, as well as the groove and energy of samba, and a writing style quite his own to 'Bacuris' his debut release as leader, and a CD which will launch to the world a huge writing and arranging talent. It is also a complete joy to hear some of Scotland's leading instrumentalists - Brian Kellock, John Rae, Malcolm MacFarlane, and Martin Kershaw - let rip and shine in this different musical context.Brazilian percussion giant Carneiro (St. Germain) adds an unmistakably Brazilian heartbeat on percussion making this album an absolute delight. From the Artist This is my debut recording, after over fifteen records as a sideman. It pays tribute to all my influences, Brazilian and not. You can hear Hermeto, Egberto, Jobim, Weber, Wheeler, Nascimento...all of them come across very clearly. I've invited six of the best and most creative musicians I know to shape this which is the most important record of my life (so far...) I wish the music could speak or rather shout out for me, because very unapologetically I am proud of this album and would love to reach as many as possible to partake of this music.
