| Sergio Krakowski Sergio Krakowski was born on December 18, 1979 and began playing pandeiro when he was 15 years old. He learned to play informally with freinds, but quickly realized the richness of the instrument and began to dedicate himself more seriously to it. He is self-taught and developed his own technique, based on various influences such as Rafael Rabello, Jorginho do Pandeiro and Marcos Suzano. Freedom of expression is a primary focus in Sergio's musical path. He believes that the pandeiro has even more potenial than has been explored until this point, including the use of polyrhythms. Krakowski started his professional career at 18, playing in clubs in Rio de Janeiro with some of the great names in Brazilian music. He dedicated himself to the instrumental Brazilian music style call Choro, where he round the freedom of expression he was looking for. At 22 Sergio joined the group Tira Poeira and had the opportunity to share the stage with such great names in Brazilian music such as: Maria Bethânia, Lenine, Zélia Duncan, Olivia Hime, Francis Hime, Bnegão and Beth Carvalho. He appeared on TV programs such as: Jô Soares, Altas Horas, e Sem Censura and performed at events such as the TIM Festival and at the Teatro Luis Angel Arango in Bogotá. Aside from his musical career, Sergio has a Masters in Mathematics and is researching ways to combine his current musical and mathematical knowldege. Currently Sergio plays with the group Anjos da Lua, whose repetoire consists of classic sambas. He's also working on a technique that allows one to play two different voices on the pandeiro simultaneously, and is working on projects with electronic music - without abandoning his Brazilian roots.
