There are some encounters that are just life-changing and profound. Martinho Da Villa is one of those.
We found him in the middle of nowhere, in a truckers' cafeteria, hidden in a discounted rack. For 5 Reais, we took a chance. And since our life has been changed. From the moment we found him, he started to share our lives, first his voice filling our car, then in the morning at breakfast, over the weekend by the pool, or during evenings among friends. His joie de vivre and the sound of his voice makes us groove and bob our heads, change our moods and make our days. His songs are Brazil like it is, devagar and yet a jeitinho that helps you through the line ups. With more than 30 albums under his belt, he is one of these oldies, a classic of the Brazilian samba, a voice and lyrics everyone knows. I just love him dearly.
