    João is the best percussionist we have ever worked with. He is so knowledgeable, we have specially worked with him with “world”, Latin American and Hispanic rhythms and simply the best. He is very musical and has great ideas. He is also very professional, timely and thorough with his deliveries.

    I think If Joao were to beat on a toilet, he could make a song sound terriffic! He did a fantastic creative job on percussion for my song.
