Mauricio Takara

A cornerstone of the São Paulo underground, Takara is a prolific percussionist and multi-instrumentalist who has helped shape the city's avant-rock and improvised music scenes for years. He lays down nimble, unhurried percussion alongside shifting synth tones to build vast, breathing sonic spaces that highlight a deeply intuitive approach to rhythm.
