00:06Suba came to Brazil
00:09exactly when the president of the time, Fernando Collor de Mello,
00:14had extinto the FUNART, the National Art Foundation.
00:18Suba said, I wanted to meet ritmists, percussionists,
00:23brazilians. I was working with Natrani,
00:26you have to meet João Paraíba.
00:32He quickly understood that he was in Brazil
00:34that he had to take part of the swing,
00:37the kitchen, the sounds, the melodies, the rhythms,
00:42and he was passionate about it.
00:44When no one was doing this here in Brazil,
00:47no one was working with electronic music,
00:49he already had this technical domain.
00:56He came, and he came at a perfect time,
00:59because all people were apt for new things
01:02within their songs, right?
01:04And he came, he knew how to do it.
01:07Suba, with pure talent,
01:10quickly, all the Brazilian musicians wanted to record with him.
01:19When he did his job for a major, for Sony Music,
01:23with a lot of marketing investment,
01:25and doing the party, and the press, and the whole thing,
01:28I think like the other labels, I said, oh, who's that guy?
01:31Wolfgang said he's serbian, but he lives in São Paulo.
01:34I said there's a serbian guy doing this music in São Paulo.
01:37He captured very quickly the Brazilian spirit,
01:42the way he did it.
01:44He said the samba of gringo, the samba of gringo crazy.
