Mario Caribe - Bacuris

As an exile in Scotland from Brazil, Mario Carib� 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.
