MA: “Since childhood I've been immersed in music of one kind or another: from formal studies in piano and string bass, then I picked up bass guitar and guitar on the fly, while playing in various bands in high school and university. I was also in the “Külapoisid” during its heyday.
My true musical awakening happened when the Beatles and the other British bands appeared, but I was attentive to the seductive charms of bossa nova and the samba, especially the works of A.C. Jobim and the Brazilian guitar virtuosos and composers, Baden Powell and Luis Bonfa. As they say in Bahia, "samba is life" or "So danca samba, vai, vai, vai..."
[roughly = I dance only the samba, go, go, go].
