Researcher of Brazilian traditional expressions, Alfredo has a collection that's already reached over 1000 recorded hours, being considered one of Brazil's most important in popular culture, besides his 9000 LPs collection. The gathering of this vast material led to the creation of the label Mundo Melhor, that registers several communities all over the country. By adding this musical knowledge to the acoustic bass, electric bass, sampling, percussion, keyboards and programming DJ Tudo emerged.
DJ Tudo searches new artistic experiences from tradicional folkloric music to electronic music, creating a unique way of being a DJ, linking and overlapping traditional and contemporary/electronic music.
The album Garrafada is a register of his musical experience with musicians and folkloric culture groups, his partners in his musical path.
