His first solo album Registro mixes the best of the contemporany brazilian music after his experince working with artists like Seu Jorge, Alceu Valenca,Kid Abelha, Flavio Venturini and Lenine. Mauricio captures the essense of the carioca, northeast and Minas Gerais music and that fusion makes you travel inside the best of the new brazilian music language. The swing of the carioca samba from Rio de Janeiro, the incredible rhytims from Pernambuco and the intricade harmonies from the mountains of Minas Gerais. All that mixed and organized with the urban pop accent, makes the album "Registro ". a portrait of the new Brazilian music.
