Siba and Fuloresta performing live at tramavirtual studio, July 2008 .
" Born in the cosmopolitan city of Recife, but from a family until this day linked to its rural origins, Siba began a long history of learning and collaboration with the traditions of the Mata Norte of Pernambuco state, exercising through the years the fundamentals of the art of rythmic poetry, becoming on the main masters of the new generation of ciranda and maracatu nowadays.
At the same time, as a member of Mestre Ambrosio's group, he developed an innovative and personal musical language, where the dialogue between traditional and cosmopolitan, past and present, street and stage are an unmistakable brand.
In 2002 after seven years living in the city of Sao Paulo, Siba decided to return to Pernambuco state to reunite the Fuloresta band, formed by traditional musicians from Nazare da Mata, a small town of 30000 inhabitants located 60km from Recife. In 2003, in a mobile studio in the rural zone in Nazare, Siba e a Fuloresta recorded their first CD , that also was released in Europe by the French label, Outros Discos.
The band played in different venues in Brazil and also did three tours in Europe from 2004 to 2006, in countries like France, Holland, Germany and Belgium, developing a unique adaptation of the music from long duration street parties to the condensed stage format." ... ( Womex )
