mind and soul using dexterity, technique and confidence.

has performed in concert and on recordings with the greatest names in
Brazilian and international music, including Milton Nascimento, whom he
played with for 25 years, João Donato, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Wayne
Shorter, Paul Horn, George Duke, Egberto Gismonti, Airto Moreira, Flora
Purim, Raul de Souza, Dori Caymmi, Cal Tjader, Sarah Vaughn, Gilberto
Gil, Toninho Horta and most recently Lisa Ono and Guilherme Vergueiro.
In
his solo career, he has recorded five solo CDs, and
continues to perform live with his band as well as
give workshops and seminars throughout Brazil and
abroad.
Currently, Robertinho is working on the ensemble "The Silvas,"
in which he performs with his four sons, all percussionists, Ronaldo,
Vanderlei, Pablo and Tiago,
with appearances by his wife, Aleuda Silva.
Robertinho
recently created a band made up of female percussionists entitled "As
Levadas," a product of his work as a teaching master.
