Signs of Talent

" Carioca manifests his talent in this release.

He is gifted with a refined musical technicality at service of his ideas.

It's a splendor of tones of many instruments creating different ways…

…The music he plays requires concentration from the listener. Although it's not pretentious, it's free of banalities and intensely dramatic in its flavor; and, parallel to that, it has a melodic quality flowering in each moment.

…Between moments of poetry and complex rhythms he spices his improvisations with creativity and power of expression…

…Carioca's music is not for amateurs, although it's far from being inaccessible. Must be listened to by those who are seriously interested in instrumental music apart from the main stream commercialism of fashion.

It is the work of one of our talented musicians. "
