Silva is a very
well known percussionist in the country and has worked with musicians all over
the world, including Marisa Monte, Roberta Sá and Moussu T et Lei Jovents.
Produced by
Ecstatic Civilians, Samba Devagar is the second video from a series that Silva
shot is Los Angeles while visiting the city last June. The black and white video
is directed by Marshall Tyler, who has worked in big blockbuster films such as
Public Enemies and Collateral and has directed two documentaries, Skid Row and Paper Dreams. The video
was shot in 17 different locations of the city of L.A.
I had the
pleasure to help with the production as well as being a part of the cast with a
group of friends and my husband. Everybody involved in this collaboration posted
the video on facebook, which gave it a lot of hype. The social media buzz
around it is non-stop.

Words of the artist:
"Samba Devagar became a tribute to the underground scene of LA"
"I hope that my music is a true reflection of who I am. MPB or electronic, I want it to tell a story and a mood. I love to mix worlds and experiences that transcends genres"
