Hello Grooveiros and Grooveiras, according to the title, today we are going to talk about some influences with strong traces and footprints in Groove.
You will notice that some bass players are in a more relaxed mood, but have strong traits of Grooves in their veins due to great recorded works, participations or videos on You Tube.
First of all, we would like to make it clear that our list is based on a bass player we know and that we already accompany, we know that there are some great bass players in Brazil that may not be on the list, we apologize, we will try to get to know these guys and follow their work to present to all.
Let’s List:
Known as Mr. Groove, what to talk about it? As the great Ed Motta would say “Robinho Tavares is a vinyl nowadays”.
The guy exudes Groove, with his humble and simple way the guy owns one of the most classic grooves in Brazil, his closed and snoring timbre takes you back to the 80s, 70s or so, that typical North American funk sound.
We can note strong influences of James Jamerson, Francis Rocco and others, but these two references stand out too much. His technique is to stifle the strings with the left palm while the indicator types the notes, is a trademark of Robinho, we can also notice many ghost notes that is fundamental to the soul of the grooves, it is simply a well of knowledge aligned technique. He has played with great names like Luciana Mello, Max de Castro, Simoninha, Jair Oliveira, Ed Motta (2013), etc.
In my opinion Fernando is something inexplicable, it does not make sense to explain something that can not explain, if you do not understand, is why it is.
Of all the opportunities I had to listen to his grooves, it was surreal, the guy owns one of the best and most beautiful bass lines in Brazil, most of the times always accompanied by a Jazz Bass 4 strings, I can say that with 4 strings the guy does a damage. His groove features many influences, such as Jaco Pastorius, Jeff Berlin, Jeff Andrews, John Patitucci and others. But in my opinion Jaco Patorius is very present in its sound.
About projects and works, he played with many people like Bob Mintzer, Randy Brecker, Sammy Figueroa, Chico Pinheiro, Bocato, Adam Rogers, Tomati, Sandra Haick, Coral Rescue, Cuca Teixeira, Paula Lima, Izzy Gordon and so on. Currently (2019) is with nothing less than the great Ed Motta.
Let’s start with the following phrase: “This guy has a virtuoso Groove”.
Do not get carried away by size, this young man of short stature owns one of the most monsters Grooves in Brazil and around the world, besides having great lines of grooves where we can notice a lot of virtuosity, intelligence, creativity and a unique language.
Analyzing his way of playing we can notice some influences like Hadrien Feraud, Matt Garrison and Jaco Pastorius.
According to our research he accompanied and recorded with many singers and band more in the following gospel as Eli Soares, Raiz Coral, Leonardo Gonçalves, Daniela Araújo, Familia Soul, Coral Kemuel, Renato Max and many others.
Currently (2019) he participates in two instrumental projects, BRAFIC (formed by Braguinha, Fininho Batera and Cacau Santos) and an instrumental group with the great drummer Virgil Donati.
The title of Mr. Groove can also and should be applied to Fabio Aposan without any doubts.
Who needs Slap when Groove speaks louder? (Understanders will know how to reflect on the joke …), jokes aside, the sound of this monster is something remarkable and quite peculiar.
We can notice a strong influence of Funk, R & B, Black Music, Soul and others, their groove lines are rich in harmony, intelligence, clear techniques and musicality out of the ordinary, yes, we are fans of this groove. Concerning bass references we can see in their lines Jaco Pastorius, Francis Rocco and sure enough there are many other bass players.
He participated and recorded with many people, like Thalles Roberto, Dany Grace, P.C BARUK, Sarah and etc.
Currently Fabio Aposan is also a producer and musical director on several projects.
The northeastern forró has groove yes, and one of the big responsible for this whole grooveria is this phenomenon called Kleytton Farney.
We know that forró lines are phenomenal, and with Kleytton’s grooves has been something out of the ordinary, their lines exude creativity, virtuosity, precision, intelligence and a swing of envy.
The guy is mega virtuoso and mega musical, a complicated combination but very well aligned by KF.
He played with many musicians and bands by the state of RN and big names of Brazil, currently (2019) is in the band of Henrique and Juliano.
A living legend, at first we can say that, this monster is great.
Owner of one of the most influential and influential grooves of the gospel medium, Ted has marked generations with his grooves, his lines have strong influences of Soul, R & B, Black Music and Funk.
We can notice in his way of playing strong traits of Marcus Miller, Miles Davis, Larry Graham and others.
In his career, the list of recordings and participations is enormous, he was present Adhemar de Campos, Soraya Moraes, Robson Nascimento, Marcelo Aguiar, Dj Alpiste, André Paganelli, Melissa Sam Backer, Shekinah Glory. Phill Tarve, Ron Kenoly and so on.
Owner of a unique marking with the neck (to the point of almost having its own life) and the funniest grimaces of You tube … rsrsrsrs.
It is part of the current generation that has made a difference in the music scene, its grooves are killer, innovative, intelligent, creative, precise and swinging. On your channel we can notice a lot of content, plus the grooves, these draw too much attention,
We can notice many influences in his grooves, like Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten and others.
About his projects, according to our research he has a Quinteto where he rolls high grooves.
To define Rubem Farias, I can only say, musicality and genius.
The first time I had contact with Rubem’s grooves, it was with the band Funk Brasil, man, what were those grooves? You get crazy with so much creativity, intelligence, precision, everything at the right time, we can feel the groove moving our feeling and euphoria.
Who does not know the great Rubem Farias, for this reading now and start looking for his works, it’s worth it, it’s a complete school.
Rubem Farias has already played and participated in the work of many people, and people of weight in the national and international scene, such as Tom Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, Sarah Vaughan, George Duke, Stanley Clarke, Sonny Rollins and Wayne Shorter.
Women are dominating the world of Grooves, and that’s very good.
The little time that we have been accompanying the work of Ana Karina Sebastião, we are frightened by her Grooves, ours, how much talent, musicality, creativity, precision and joy, and this joy is something remarkable of her.
We can see in his grooves a strong influence of Jaco Pastorius, Richard Bona among others.
His current projects are Chico César, Arrigo Barnabé and as part of the program “Conversa con Bial” on Rede Globo TV.
Many know him by the name of the character staged by him, Paxtorzão, but as time goes by, knowing the musical side of Daniel Araujo and amazed the guy is a well of musicality, creativity, precision and sings very well.
Nowadays he has put his music and projects forward, and in the social networks we can see his grooves and talent, the guy grooves too much, what a footprint, what a timbre, I can say that I will become a fan, and his humility makes him a great person .
About his projects and works, currently he is focused on his solo project.
Talking about Serginho is something surreal, a definition for him would be “He is a well of musicality”.
I follow his projects and participations a long time, highlighting the part of the Grooves that he executes and creates, we simply have something inexplicable. Your levadas are totally abnormal and beautiful at the same time, real but unreal, you notice that there is a lot of musicality.
Projects and participations, Serginho had the honor of playing with many people, such as Djavan, Teatro Mágico, Simoninha, Max Viana, Max de Castro and others.
Hold the man, we can start like this, Arthur de Palla arrives in the music scene flying low.
We can close our eyes and feel their lines and grooves taking care of our interior, we have accompanied their social networks a lot and targeting their groove lines, we can notice a rich variety of ideas, musicality is something very notorious, creativity and naturalness is something that does not to describe.
Always accompanied by a Precison 4 strings, we are amazed by its sound, it is a refined mixture of 80’s with the actuality, something very old more at the same time New, can not explain, only listening to feel.
He is currently in the band of nothing less than Djavan.
The man is abused, talented and humble.
I confess that when I started to follow the work of Elias, I was very upset because I did not follow much earlier. What talent, musicality, creativity, precision, the guy is incredible, the pagoda thanks his enormous talent.
In social networks was where we had more contacts with their works, and noticing their lines of Grooves we were astonished, from where comes so much creativity, intelligence, simplicity, attitude and passion?
We can notice many influences in their sound, nor can we disbelieve them.
Projects and participations, walked with Belo, Anitta, Imagina Samba, Allan Lima, Thiaguinho among others.

Luizinho seria genial se eu fosse reconhecido no Brasil por meus 42 anos tocando funk com os maiores artistas dos EUA e do Reino Unido. Meu filho Andreas Doré e minha ex-esposa Maria Zete vivem para meus posts do IG. muitos anos atrás no Rio eu toquei com Zé Rodriguez. Conhecer e tocar com a banda Miles Davis no Rio foi o começo da minha peregrinação ao jazz nos Estados Unidos. Eu fui o terceiro baixista oficial de Sly and the Family Stone e ainda jogo depois de 40 anos com seu irmão Freddie Stone, o co-fundador da S & TFS. A última esposa de Sly foi a filha brasileira do chefe da TV Globo. Ela também era uma grande amiga da minha ex esposa. Eu também trabalhei para a TV Globo. mundo pequeno
Faltou o Michael “Pipoquinha”
Obrigado!
Sim, também tem ele, não optamos por colocar ele no momento, por que na nossa opinião ele tem ótimas linhas de Groove, isso é inegável, mas é notório que sua característica é bem voltado para o lado do improviso, por conta até dos seu projetos, não que seja errado, mas é um ponto de vista nosso.
Mas teremos outras listas e vamos colocar ele sim, mas obrigado pelo comentário e lembrança. Michael Pipoquinha é um monstro e sim devemos falar sobre ele sempre.
Grande abraço.
