THE POINT OF POWER IS HERE NOW
THE MOMENT IS NOW, THE PRESENT MOMENT
Edson Aparecido DaSilva (Cafe), Percussionist/Singer/Composer was born in Sao Paulo, Villa Maria, Brazil. His dedication to the drums began at 8 years when he became fascinated by the Afro-Brazilian rhythms he heard and felt at the spiritual meetings which he attended with his parents. In his late teens his studies included a period of classical training in preparation for the Municipal Symphonic Orchestra of Sao Paolo, but his passion for the rhythms of his heritage took him at night to the clubs where he listened to and began playing jazz and popular music. In his early 20's he moved to Rio with a theater troupe and studied technique at the Villas Lobo School. From 1976-1979 he performed for the Ministry of Education and Culture of Brazil in the National Arts Program “Seis & Meia.” In 1980 his world touring began with such artists as Chico Buarque de Holanda, Milton Nascimento, Djavan and Simone. After moving to the U.S. in 1985 it continued with James Last, Phillippe Saisse, Sadao Watanabe, The New York Samba Band, Roberta Flack, David Byrne, Tania Maria, Herbie Mann, Larry Coryell, Mor Thiam, Gato Barbieri, Vinx, Pepeu Gomes, Michael Franks and Harry Belafonte, among many others.
