Marcos Sacramento‘s perfect voice (often compared to the mythic Orlando Silva
one) invites us to rediscover the traditional samba. At once cool and warm,
seductive and swinging, his clear and beautiful tenor voice insufflates his energy to
the interpretation of classic sambas.
The carioca (from Rio de Janeiro) is breathing new life into “old” sambas.
With Sacramentos, Marcos gives a look to the precursors, diving deeper in the popular
Brazilian culture with classics of Baden-Powell o Herivalto Martins but he also opens his
repertory to his contemporaneous young and gifted artists such as Paulo Baiano and
Luiz Flavio Alcofra who, like Sacramento, are the most legitimate heirs of whom have
made of the samba, the most dynamic and strong representative genre of Brazil.
