Pra Cantar 3X   Na Beira Do Mar

Eus (Gabriel Moura / Mauricio Baia)  Album: Entrada de Emergencia,    Artist: Baia & Rockboys,   Special guest:  Gabriel Moura on vocal

This is a song I made for my son Rocco Mariano and it is on my album "Uke Can Play Uke" which I gave an approach, a style of playing the ukulele a little different, without departing from its essence, but with a little vision of Brazil. The rhythm of this song is what we call Baião. 
Baião is a Northeastern Brazilian music genre and dance style based on a syncopated duple meter rhythm, based around the pulse of the zabumba, a flat, double-headed bass drum played with a mallet in one hand and a stick in the other, each striking the opposite head of the drum for alternating high and low notes, frequently accompanied by an accordion and a triangle pattern. The baião rhythm is integral to the genres of forró, repente and coco (or embolada).

Aloha Oe (Ukulele)

This is an instrumental composition of mine, made some 15 years ago based on the rhythm of the Bossa Nova, inspired by nature, birds and the great composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. Before starting this music you can hear the bird “Bem-te-Vi” or “Big-kiskadi” singing (or "Pitangus sulphuratus" it was like the Brazilian Tupi-Guarani Indians call it), which is a bird singing that I've heard my whole life and I love it.

Combs of Wax (Favos de Cera)

"Happiness Is a Warm Gun" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles from their 1968 album The Beatles (also known as "the White Album"). It was written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership.
I know that this version is a little different from the original but I had to make some adjustments, after all, I only have 4 strings. By the way…I love this song.

It was raining when I started writing this song. 
I know I'm not playing well, but I just finished the song, so I decided to record anyway.

I made this song for my grandson who was born about 3 weeks ago
I hope you like it.

Influenced by Classic Rock, Pop, Latin, and Brazilian music, he puts his stamp on his way to play music matching the elegance of Brazilian Music and the daring improvisation of Bossa Nova into a beautiful musical form the can and will be appreciated by both Brazilians and Non-Brazilian music fans alike.

The universe starts looking for something that is not how we think so vague. Maybe the future is a mere repetition of the past or the reverse. Mere thought argue the existence of life, for without it there would be no   the core of some divine despair
