Brazil’s Mauricio de Souza

The World

Drummer and bandleader Mauricio de Souza called Brazil home when he was a child. He’s called the US home since he came here as a teenager thirteen years ago. And ever since, he’s been busy on several musical fronts. These days, Mauricio de Souza heads two bands and his new CD features both of them. The World’s Ken Bader has his story.
