Emiliano has a lot to share with percussion, music, and performing arts enthusiasts.
This Brazilian/USA & Spanish producer, multi-percussionist, composer, and writer has performed extensively in Europe, Asia, North, and South America with many artists.

Emiliano's accolades include the SF WEEKLY MUSIC AWARD for Best World Music in the Bay Area and the CALIFORNIA MUSIC AWARD for Outstanding Latin Alternative Album with his old band Bat Makumba. - The Beat Magazine Volume 20 No.5 "...Partly because bat also means "to beat," perfect for a band with such a powerful rhythmic foundation.

One of the busiest musicians in the city" - San Francisco Bay Guardian 2002 "...Emiliano Benevides is an excellent percussionist and on top of that, a great teacher!!! Often traditional teachers are not the easiest to learn from but he understands our minds, breaks it down very nicely, and is very sweet and patient." - Layne Redmond (Author, recording artist, and Frame Drummer Legend) "Emiliano Benevides brings the excitement of his native Brazil into the classroom setting and immediately grabs the childrens attention with his enthusiasm and his wit. His mastery of a multitude of percussion instruments and his extraordinary showmanship provides all participants young and old alike the opportunity to sing, dance, and play with ease and utter joy. Emiliano is a remarkable performer and a true inspiration, and it is a pleasure to work with someone who truly lives and breathes his art. -Rebeca Mauleón, musician/author/educator

Story behind the song
I composed this song in 2023. It revolves around the narrative of an individual who offered assistance to another, only to be met with complaints rather than gratitude. As the story unfolded, the lyrics gradually began to take shape. YOU ASKED ME FOR MONEY AND STAYED IN MY HOME YOU CONSUMED ALL MY FOOD DRANK MY BEER, TOOK IT ALL'
