With Special Guest band leader

EDER O ROCHA

Eder is considered to be one of the most crucial people

involved in the development of a new street in Brazilian music. This

is a movement that began with Chico Science and exploded into the

mangue music scene and the revival of traditional musical styles from

Recife, Pernambuco. Eder has been playing in the traditional Maracatu

Nacao Estrela Brilhante for 13 years under the tutelage of the

infamous Mestre Walter de Franca. His work with the music of maracatu

in Sao Paulo has lead to development and formation of various

percussion groups. Aline Morales credits Eder with opening the doors

to her entrance into Nacao Estrela Brilhante. A whole generation of

young percussionists, including Aline and her master Lenis Rino, list

Eder as a major influence.

EDER "O" ROCHA is a percussionist who combines a deep first-hand

knowledge of the traditional musical styles of Northeastern Brazil

with a thorough formal musical training.

i booked these guys for NYE and it was spectacular... The band first played on stage, but by the end of the show.. the dance floor tunred into the stage... with the entire ensemble playing right next to the dancers... The band is led by some very beautiful brazillian people... I've caught them in Kensington Market for Pedestrian Sundays a couple of times and are well worth checking out...

nice work kenny..
