The Brazilian percussionist, guitarist, composer(born March 9, 1943) was 12 years old when he started playing percussion in the big band,Rapazes da Alvorada. The court had to give his parents a special permit because the band performed every night at Cabaret Boite Cuba,a popular spot, in 1955. His talent was soon noticed and he was considered a catalyst when he was still a teenager. He revolutionized Brazilian conga drums by introducing 16 new ways to play the instrument which made veteran conga masters, including Jorge Arena, Rubens Bassini and Laudir de Oliveira to approach him to learn his style. He performed with the top Brazilian artists during his adolescence, including ,Samba Show, Cauby Peixoto,Group Ed Lincoln, Elza Soares ,Jair Rodrigues, Jorge Benjor, Os Mutantes,Group Pilantragem, Maisa Matarazzo, Monsueto, Carlos Imperial and he was musical director for Maria Betania. His dramatic work includes– Actor:“ Fantastico" (TV Globo), Opera do Malandro(TV Globo).Director/writer: Negra Elza, starring Elza Soares (Carlos Gomes Theater) and (Municipal Theater). Drama teacher: (Teatro Niteroitenta),Artistic Director:(P.U.C. University). In the beginning of 1969 he was 25 when he left Brazil on top of his profession, but under the pressure of the military dictatorship - His luggage was packed with unpublished original works, including TV series: “Ella”, “Lodo”; TV Variety: “?NTERROGAÇÃO”; Plays: “O Bom o Mau e o Feio",“Brazilamerica”;Behavior: “Quebra Cabeça” and “Alem das Regras”.


In 1969 he left Brazil for Mexico where he worked with the Brazilian ] group Tamba 4 before moving to the United States. He established himself as a musician in ] in the early 1970s.

His rising as a percussionist, in America, was overnight. He participated on Joao Donato’s recordings of “Abade”, four days after his arrival in Los Angeles, on December of 1969. That recording session was loaded with the best studio musicians of the time, including Emil Richards, Joe Porcaro, Larry Banker, Paulo Magalhaes, among others. They became his friends and he became a studio musician in America. In 1970, his name entered The Encyclopedia of Jazz in the Seventies, By Leonard Feather and Ira Gittler, Introduced By Quincy Jones. His style with polyrhythm was loved by the experts. Drummers called him the only conga player that performed without incompatible pattern. That was the birth of the so called "Mayuto's School", which established conga drum back beat patterns for R&B, Pop and Rock styles. He also created jazz patterns for conga drums that were compatible with drum set playing, beyond the usual shuffle.

In 1979 He went back to Brazil to direct his film “Zarina”, this work was called master piece by Carlos Augusto Kalil, president of “Embrafilme”, a Brazilian film institution run by the government during its dictatorship. Producer, Caca Diniz and executive producer, Luiz Carlos Barreto, loved the script. Haskel Wexler, American multiple Oscar winner, photography director, after reading the script he gave it back with a letter size paper filled with his positive comments and compliments about Mayuto's story and photography description -That coming from one of the most respected photography masters made mayuto speechless and he rushed to the elevator - Haskel, then, said "you will not ask me to be the D.P.? The elevator's door was closing and Mayuto had only time to throw the script back, which Haskel grubbed it like football. During its pre-production the political content of the film became an imminent threat of Mayuto being arrested by the military and he rushed back to United States.
