The story
Luiz de Oliveira da Costa Maia is a musician widely acknowledged as the father of the modern Brazilian bass. His unparalleled sense of rhythm and deep subwoofer-like tone stirred the sauce behind the classic recordings of Elis Regina, João Bosco, Tom Jobim, Djavan and Chico Buarque. He was the uncle of Arthur Maia.
