Michael Pipoquinha

Michael Pipoquinha is a Brazilian bass virtuoso and composer who’s carved out a dazzling niche in jazz, fusion, and instrumental music with his infectious grooves and technical wizardry. Hailing from São Paulo, Pipoquinha (born Michael Ribeiro) became a YouTube sensation in his teens, wowing audiences with his slap-heavy bass covers and genre-blurring originality. His recent releases—like the live energy of *BASSTARDOS Live at the Black Room Sessions*, the collaborative spark of *Cumplicidade*, and the adventurous twists on jazz standards in *Giant Steps*—showcase his knack for balancing complex musicianship with playful accessibility. Tracks like *AGORA* and *Veredas* highlight his Brazilian roots, weaving samba and MPB flavors into intricate basslines, while projects like *Um Novo Tom* and *Momento Sagrado* reflect his deep reverence for jazz legends and knack for modern reinvention. Whether he’s shredding solo or collaborating (as seen in *Tipo Dani*), Pipoquinha’s music feels like a celebration—a reminder that technical mastery and pure joy aren’t mutually exclusive.
