Paulo Almeida

Paulo Almeida - percussionist founded on a line that draws inspiration from both Hermeto Pascoal and Nana – and the music he has released on Oferenda [ANUK Music] is evocative of candomblé, the African diasporic religion, developed in Brasil during the 19th century, which arose through a process of syncretism between several of the traditional religions of West Africa, especially those of the Yoruba, Bantu, and Gbe [similar to the syncretism in the Lucumi of Cuba, for instance].
