A bassist who exudes Groove, with his humble and simple way, the guy owns one of the most classic grooves in Brazil, his closed and snoring tone takes you to the 80s, 70s or so, that typical North American funk sound .
We can notice strong influences from James Jamerson, Francis Rocco and others, but these two references stand out too much. His technique that consists of muffling like strings with the palm of his left hand while the index finger types as notes, is a trademark of Robinho, we can also notice many ghost notes that are fundamental to the soul of grooves, he is simply a well of knowledge aligned with the technique. He has played with big names like Luciana Mello, Max de Castro, Simoninha, Jair Oliveira, Ed Motta (2013), etc.
