Enthusiastic about that series of presentations, with musicians the caliber of Guinga, Cristina Buarque, Yamandu Costa, Miacha, Francis Hime, Zeze Gonzaga and many others, Olivia and Kati decided to record the CDs of the shows. Their enthusiasm grew beyond just the CDs and the team aimed for an independent record company, proudly unconcerned about market tendencies. At first, Biscoito Fino edited songs by old and new composers, and then recorded and distributed CDs. Today, with its own studio and equipment available to musicians, Biscoito doesn't want, to paraphrase Noel Rosa, to smother anyone, but only to show that it also makes the best Brazilian popular music. Featured Artist: Sivuca ; ti The talented Sivuca, born Severino Dias de Oliveira, in 1930, in Paraiba, was precocious. At nine years of age he played at weddings and parties in the countryside. At 15 he tried his luck on a newcomers program in Recife, playing, among other things, "Tico-Tico no Fuba," by Zequinha de Abreu, a song he would record years later. He studied harmony with the master, Guerra-Peixe, and went to Sao Paulo by way of Carmelia Alves. He worked in tons of programs on the radio and was fixed staff of TV Tupi in 1955 and 1959. In 1958, he represented Brazil in Europe, together with musicians like Abel Ferreira and "Trio Iraquit5." He lived four years in Paris, from 1960 to 64, and in 1965, he was already in The United States as a member, as a guitarist, of the group of Miriam Makeba, famous for the recording of "Pata Pata." With her he traveled through Africa, Europe and Asia. He accompanied for more than ten years musicians of all kinds and directed musicals in America. He came back to Brazil in 1975, and recorded the beautiful, Sivuca e Rosinha de Valenta. Also a great composer, he did classics like Feira de Mangaio, with his wife, Glorinha Gadelha, a success in the voice EFTA00770942 of Clara Nunes, and Joao e Maria, with Chico Buarque. At 73, Sivuca is one of the most talented active musicians in the world. Featured Albums Sivuca Sinfonico Amendoeira Sivuca Bebeto Castilho What can we say about Sivuca, whose work Bebeto Castilho, one of Brazilian music' s best either as instrumentalist or as composer has kept secrets, is now revealed.
