Since 1999, Mucio Aquino has dedicated most of his part time composing. Through his dedication, the album âSearchâ emerges with 8 of the artistâs original songs.
In August/September of 2006, Mucio Aquino had the privilege of recording in the beautiful Rio de Janeiro â Brazil, with very talented musicians. Amidst them was Zeca Barros (Berklee College of Music â BA in Arranging, orchestration and movie soundtracks) producing and arranging.
This album carries rich and varied rhythms that range from Samba Gafieira to forró funk, jazz to ballads and waltz and it also reflects the talents of Brazilian musicians in the rhythm section; the richness of a Quintet horn section (Cafezeira, Zé Firmino); Quartet horn section (Tchutchuca); and the charm and beauty of a 6 Violin and 4 Cello ensemble (Loneliness, Love search, Good dreams Nathaniel and Sad Eyes).
Each song is unique and expresses the sensibility of this artist. His life story is unfolded in each track through every note he plays.
