Robertinho Silva – Bateria
There are records, and then there are relics. And when my nephew—DJ Nobunaga, a globe-spinning architect of breakbeats and sound systems—gifted me an original pressing of Bateria by Robertinho Silva for my birthday this year, it felt like receiving something holy, something that shouldn’t even still exist in circulation. No reissue. No repress. Just the real deal. And in this house, that means everything.
Who Is Robertinho Silva?
Born July 1, 1941, in Rio de Janeiro, Robertinho Silva isn’t just a drummer. He’s a rhythmic prophet. A percussionist who carries the language of the orixás in his hands and translates it into jazz, samba, funk, fusion—whatever you want to call it. But in truth, Silva transcends genre. He has played with everybody—#MiltonNascimento, #WayneShorter, #JoãoDonato, #GilbertoGil, #AirtoMoreira—yet he’s always unmistakably himself. Raw. Earthy. Sophisticated. Tribal. Urban.
Silva is one of the few Brazilian musicians who can move effortlessly between traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms and post-bop improvisation. His drumming is both ancestral and futuristic, technical but spiritual. On Bateria, he invites you into a world where every hit of the skin tells a story, a protest, a prayer.
You can have all the Blue Notes, all the Tropicalia, all the Fania, all the CTI pressings. But if you don’t have Bateria, your collection is incomplete. It’s the missing brick in the foundation. The ghost behind the groove.
