‘A master … one of the true architects of Brazilian music.’ That’s how the latest generation of Brazilian musicians talk about the great musician and songwriter Marku Ribas. His rich music is a mixture of Brazilian rhythms with elements from the Caribbean, jazz and other styles that he has been immersed in since his childhood in Pirapora, Minas Gerais.
Now in his sixties, Marku has developed partnerships with the biggest names of the new generation in Brazilian music. One of his best known songs, Zamba Ben, has become a cult song throughout Brazil as a sort of samba-rock anthem. Zamba Ben has been sampled by international DJs and been covered by many other bands.
Marku Ribas travel is supported by the Government of Minas Gerais.
