"Portinho needs little introduction. Born in Brazil he moved to the States in the early '70s. Since arriving in the US, Portinho has worked with many artists, including Airto Moreira, Gato Barbieri, Harry Belafonte, Dom Salvador, Paquito de Rivera, Astrud Gilberto, Michel Camilo, and Tania Maria. Portinho is a quiet, modest man with a strong sense of integrity. Everything he plays has a statement in it, and the groove never stops."
