DEMOS


The New MPB

Actually he’s a Brasilo-Parisian. In a relatively short time, in fact, the man who one day proclaimed himself to be a “poetic exile” – the phrase scored heavily! – has succeeded in his entry to the major (Brazilian) league, and God knows the majors are legion in that other hemisphere.

He started with the south of France because the climatic shock was less violent. But it also meant doing clichéd gigs for peanuts in a flowered shirt and, the irony of it all, being asked to play “I go to Rio”; and then there were those private soirées in St. Trop’ for Eddie Barclay, which wasn’t on except when Quincy Jones was a guest… So, Paris! Márcio Faraco, the poetic exile, was writing and composing more and more, occasionally consulting a certain Chico Buarque (the source of much encouragement), and setting up a refined musical gang of gourmet accomplices both Brazilian and French.
