What was the first piece of music which really affected you?
The sound of the tamborim.
Any interesting, valuable or just plain strange musical memorabilia at home?
Two real rare records from Tim Maia (Brazilian Soul Singer) called Tim Maia Racional Volume 1 & 2. It was produced when Tim joined a cult and its his most beautiful work. Then he put his mind back in place and left the cult. Then decided those records could never being manufactured or distributed again. I have two of the rarities at home. Love them to pieces.
