Toquinho

Toquinho

Brazilian guitarist and singer Toquinho (real name Antônio Pecci Filho) was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in the 1940's. His first major hit single was 'Que

Maravilha', as featured here, that he wrote with Jorge Ben. This album also features 'Zana' and the ultra-famous 'Carolina Carol Bela', also written with Ben.

Toquinho had a prolific career releasing a huge number of albums and writing on even more. He released many records with Vinicius De Moraes during the 70's.

'Carolina Carol Bela' was sampled by DJ Marky on his drum n bass hit 'LK' - the track that launched the sound of Brazilian drum n bass outside of Brazil.
