About Marcio Peeter:
Marcio Peeter is a musician, music teacher, and director from Salvador, Bahia.

He's played in most of the top samba reggae / samba afro blocos, including Timbalada, Ilê Aiyê, Cortejo Afro, Olodum, and more.

He's also our main source for samba reggae rhythms - most of what we play in that style is what he's taught us over the years, including his classes at @calbrazilcamp We're very lucky to have him visiting here! 🙌🏽🥁
