Maguinho Alcantara Brecht and Eduardo Kusdra: Mandela

A drummer can be a bassist’s best friend.

Here we find a cool clip of drummer Maguinho Alcantara Brecht and bassist Eduardo Kusdra playing their tune “Mandela.”

The duo build the whole tune, which is in 5/4, with just drums, bass, and a unified sense of groove.

In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
