Produtos de Sergio Krakowski

Sergio's connection to the pandeiro started quite early when he was only 13 years old. He learnt a very simple version of the Samba groove with his brother. After listening to the music of two pandeiro players, Jorginho do Pandeiro and Marcos Suzano, they became his main reference. Listening to Suzano and getting in touch with a few students of his was the first step towards his becoming a pandeiro player himself.

He developed his own techniques which are based on Suzano's and Jorginho's work but have a few elements that are different. More than the importance of these details, he believes the most valuable part of his work is the philosophy behind the technique. The idea that we can create balance by generating a physical binary flow with our left hand and freely choose which note to play with our right hand. The reason, freedom matters so much to him is because his focus in improvising on the pandeiro.
