Guilherme Franco (born November 25, 1946, in São Paulo, Brazil) is a percussionist in the jazz and World fusion music genres. Franco has performed on the albums of many notable jazz musicians such as McCoy Tyner, Lonnie Liston Smith, Don Pullen and Woody Shaw. Between 1971 and 1976 he was a member of Keith Jarrett's "American Band", and he has also been a member of Paul Winter's Consort. In 1981 he started a samba school in New York City and a power samba group called "Pe De Boi" (a Brazilian slang term for a good musician, literally meaning "foot of the bull"). As a result, he began playing many gigs in the New York City underground scene of the 1980s with the likes of David Byrne and David Johansen among many others. Franco has also been employed by longtime friend, drummer and cinema executive Richard Baratta to work in the film industry in New York. Franco currently resides in São Paulo, Brazil, and is said to practice music 14 hours a day. ==Discography== In 1998 he recorded the solo album ''Capoeira: Legendary Music of Brazil'', as leader, on the Lyrichord record label, on which album he plays most of the instruments. He has appeared on at least one album a year in most years since 1972, as shown in the table below. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guilherme Franco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
