Toninho Carrasqueira is a master Brazilian flutist and composer celebrated for his virtuosity in choro, samba, and classical music. Known for breathing fresh life into Brazil’s instrumental traditions, he’s become a guardian of the country’s musical heritage through collaborations and tributes. His recent works, like *Toninho Carrasqueira Toca Pixinguinha e Pattápio Silva (A Brazilian Legacy)*, showcase his deep reverence for legends of the genre, while projects with guitarist Mauricio Carrilho (see the *Vol. 6* and *Vol. 7* releases) highlight his knack for dynamic, cross-generational partnerships. Whether performing live (as heard on *The Michigan Recital*) or reimagining classics with a modern twist, Carrasqueira’s flute work sparkles with technical precision and playful spontaneity—a true bridge between Brazil’s past and present.
