Been born in Brazil and playing in so many different bands in the USA gave me an understanding of how close the rithms from the two contries are: Blues and Baiao, Samba and Funk. My goal with music is to play brazilian music with it's roots but in a way that can be enjoyed in other cultures. It's the translation of the rithym and feeling of the brazilin music that I want to acomplish.

So this CD is about playing brazilian music to be heard by an non- brazilian listener.

Music for me has to be the escape, the dream,and not the reality." Alex grew up in the midst of a great musical atmosphere, where he started playing in bands in his hometown at the age of 15. He studied classical piano, but his main technical and artistic influence came from his teacher and Mentor Joao Viviane maestro who was part of the Bossa Nova and Samba Jazz movement that changed Brazilian music during the sixties.

Almost every day after school they would meet for a Roda de Samba in order to play, sing, compose and create together. Alex's style is influenced mostly by the music of his Brazilian homeland mixed up with american and Latin Rythms.
