Dirt And Blood

American percussionist and bandleader. 
Born 24 September 1922 in Chicago, Illinois. Nicknamed “Mr. Bongo” for his role in making the instrument popular, almost starting a “bongo craze” as latin rhythms influenced jazz and pop following World War II. Originally a dancer, Costanzo visitied Cuba several times to learn conga playing, before reportedly being the first bongo player to join a jazz band. He played with Stan Kenton (1947–1948), Nat King Cole (1949–1953], Billy May And His Orchestra, Peggy Lee, Perez Prado, Charlie Barnet, Ray Anthony, Xavier Cugat, Frank Sinatra and others. In the 1950s Costanzo formed his own “Exotica” style band. In the early 1960s he was a member of the studio musicians group Surfmen, The. He has continued to play for more than half a century, retiring in 1998 but making a comeback in 2001.

Bobby Hebb wrote 'Sunny', one of the most covered songs of all time, so I was very happy to be asked to remix the title track from his 2005 album - his first commercial release since 1970! Check it out here, with 2 new versions of 'Sunny' : http://www.intuition-music.com/shop/en_UK/Audio_CDs/1000125/show,220827.html

Sammy Ayala has been a complete pleasure to collaborate with the past years! He's not only been in the most legendary salsa bands (Cortijo), but he wrote music with that huge smile until the day he recently passed away.  For his 74th? or 75th? Birthday, Sammy came down to one of our Turntables on the Hudson parties & rocked the mic & some percussion with us until 4AM... I can only wish to be as talented, animated & positive as Mr Ayala when I'm over 70! Unfortunately we lost Sammy in the physical last year (2012) but we hope you explore all his beautiful music over the years!

"Conmigo" by Nickodemus featuring Sammy Ayala & The Candela Allstars

Batuke Samba Funk is a high energy Brazilian band that mixes rhythms such as Funk from the 70's with Afro Samba, Brazilian Big Band, Batucada, Soul, and R&B. The band attracts a mixed crowd with people from all ages and nationalities dancing in every performance. The goal of Batuke is to "brazilianize" American sounds and "americanize" Brazilian sounds in a perfect balanced fusion.
 
Batuke was created in 2008 by Brazilian bassist, composer, and musical producer Diogo Brown, who was soon joined by Miami's well known Brazilian guitarist and composer Cezar Santana.

Diogo's versatility and musicality opened doors for him to work with artists like: Nouvelle Vague,
 Cris Delano (Bossa Cuca Nova), Claudia Leite, Ricky Martin, Don Omar and Lucenzo (Kuduro),
 Jon Secada, Mark Hudson and others.

Most of the songs are composed by Diogo Brown and Cezar Santana, with special emphasis on the theme song of the CD, "Soul Carioca" which has just been released in a single as a tribute to Rio De Janeiro Brasil. 
The song "Mas Que Bonita", besides being the theme of the DVD "Oficina do Samba" by choreographer, dancer and teacher Jimmy de Oliveira (featuring Carlinhos de Jesus, Jaime Arôxa and others) also plays occasionally on Globo TV , "Globo Esporte" and "Fantastico".



PORTUGUESE 


O projeto Batuke Samba Funk foi criado em 2008 pelo baixista, compositor e arranjador carioca Diogo Brown, acompanhado pelo guitarrista e compositor também carioca Cezar Santana, ambos radicados em Miami.

Diogo já trabalhou com artistas e grupos nacionais e internacionais como Nouvelle Vague, Cris Delano, Cláudia Leite, Ricky Martin, Jon Secada, Don Omar e Lucenzo, Carlos Dafe, Aleh, Bebeto & Banda Black Rio, entre outros.

O projeto do Batuke Samba Funk é de "abrasileirar" sons americanos e "americanizar" sons brasileiros em uma combinação entre as duas culturas do Funk e do Samba, promovendo cada vez mais a cultura brasileira no exterior com base dançante e melodia marcante e envolvente.

Batuke acaba de ser indicado para receber, em maio, o 16º Brazilian Press Awards USA 2013 (www.pressaward.com) como melhor grupo musical na promoção da cultura brasileira fora do Brasil.

A maioria das músicas são compostas por Diogo Brown e Cezar Santana, com especial destaque para a música tema do CD, "Soul Carioca", que acaba de ser lançada como single. A música "Mas Que Moça Bonita", de Diogo Brown além de ser tema do DVD "Oficina do Samba" do coreógrafo, dançarino e professor de dança de salão Jimmy de Oliveira (com participação de Carlinhos de Jesus, Jaime Arôxa e outros), também  toca esporadicamente na TV Globo, nos  programas Globo Esporte e Fantástico.
