[Dixielandjazz] Slightly OT - Anybody know anything about "Marcelo Cego?"

[David M Richoux]

Hi all - there are a bunch of Youtubes with various brass & accordion  
ensembles, mostly with a Marcelo Cego on tuba, helicon or Sousaphone.  
There is very little information attached to the videos, but some seem  
to written in Portuguese or have Brazilian URLs associated. Some list  
the tuba a Baixo, which is Portuguese for Bass.

Google is not turning up much info on the musician, nor the musical  
style they are playing - lots of  improvised bass lines and a sort of  
rolling tempo.

A few examples:

Some approach New Orleans traditional jazz in feeling.
