“Duduka Da Fonseca is one of the most exciting, creative drummers on the planet and It’s always a thrill to share the bandstand with him.” - Kenny Barron Duduka Da Fonseca, a 4-time GRAMMY® Award Nominee drummer, and his quartet perform ten stimulating pieces on YES!!! that blend together Brazilian rhythms with Jazz. The drummer is joined in Quarteto Universal by three like-minded talents: guitarist Chico Pinheiro, pianist Helio Alves and bassist Gili Lopes. These musicians push boundaries while deeply staying in touch with their Brazilian heritage.
