Marcos Suzano

Marcos Suzano is the kind of musician I find quietly heroic. The story of a rock kid who saw a carnival bloco and gave his life to percussion is irresistibly romantic, and his collaborations with Gilberto Gil, Nando Reis and Titãs put him at the heart of modern Brazilian music. What moves me is that he became a force not by standing in the spotlight but by making everyone around him sound better. Mastery of the pandeiro and the deep rhythmic vocabulary of Brazil is craftsmanship of the highest order. I have enormous respect for artists who serve the song, and Suzano sounds like one of the finest.
