"... Carlinhos Brown says he is a workaholic, if you can call singing, drumming, writing and dancing "work". In addition to his band Timbalada, and his solo record, Alfagamabetizado, he has been collaborating with artists from all over Brazil: Daniela Mercury, Marisa Monte, Sergio Mendes, and even the rock group Sepultura. Thirty of Brown's compositions have topped the Brazilian charts over the past decade. If you flip on the television, you'll see him dancing, and of course, drumming around Toyotas. The one constant: the Bahian sound, a mix of Afro-Brazilian percussion with a touch of a reggae beat. Carlinhos Brown is one of the leaders of a movement that takes the traditional Afro-Brazilian drumming, and sets it to pop beat, with electric guitars and a brass section. The sound is infectious, and it is largely responsible for Salvador's millions of visitors annualy, tourists on musical pilgrimages. ( Rhythm Music Magazine, 1997 )
