About Me

Don't you look at me so smug And say I'm going bad. Who are you to judge me And the life that I live? I know that I'm not perfect And that I don't claim to be. So before you point your fingers, Be sure your hands are clean.Judge not Before you judge yourself. Judge not If you're not ready for judgement.The road of life is rocking And you may stumble too. So while you talk about me, someone else is judging you. (Bob Marley)

My Interests

A lots of playtime with my five years old son, to cook, I love it and I can do it too, ah! Slot cars, I just adore that thing.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody that likes to meet me (|;~}
DO NOT BOTHER TRYING, JUST DO IT! I HAVE SUCH TALENTED FRIENDS ..

Music:

I'm a pro, so I really love all kinds of good music. Coldplay and Fiona Apple are doing a pretty good job right now. But I also love my fellow country men Heitor Villa-Lobos, Tom Jobim and Caetano Veloso just to name some. Not to talk about Steve Wonder, Miles Davis, Bob Marley, The Police, there are so many and they are so great, you can do the math by now. By the way, my new album just came out, the title is Caiapó (a Native Brazilian tribe), it was produced by Jeremy Adelman and myself, there are a lots of very special guests including, Vinicius Cantuaria, Michael Leonhart, Didi Gutman, Jesse Murphy, Tania Maria, Masa Shimizu, Claudio Infante, Mauro Refosco and many others, go get it!

Movies:

Metropolis (Fritz Lang), Modern Times and The Kid (Charles Chaplin) Blade Runner (Ridley Scott), Jules et Jim (François Truffaut), Lolita and 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick), there we go again, there are so many and they are so good I could go on and on for a couple of days listing...

Television:

Love it all when I have time, but my all time favorites are the old cartoons Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Pink Panther and Popeye. The music is just unbelievable!!!

Books:

The last ones were: The DaVinci Code (Dan Brown), Celestine Prophecy (James Redfield) I also like to read poetry (good poetry).

Heroes:

Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela and all the real people that fight for good causes and social justice. I'll tell you just a little story from a long time ago, for whomever knows about it's characters... I had this friend that was very a dear friend to me, and he was a kind of a bluesy singer, tending to rock, most of the time and a magnificent poet, he carried all the passion and decadence of Baudelaire and Mallarme his name was Cazuza and unfortunately he died very young, but I can say that I had a pleasure to be his friend and to compose a hand full of songs with him. For me you and your poetry will always be here.
