Biography
by Alvaro Neder
Milton Banana is the musician who invented the bossa nova drumming style. An extremely busy session man during the first period of bossa nova, he recorded the historic Chega de Saudade (João Gilberto's debut album), the equally historic Getz-Gilberto, and recorded extensively with Tom Jobim, João Donato, and many others. He also performed gigs every night with people like Luís Eça, Johnny Alf, Roberto Menescal, Carlos Lyra, Ed Lincoln, Newton Mendoça, Claudete Soares, Baden Powell, Sérgio Mendes, Luís Bonfá, Bola Sete (in Punta del Este, Uruguay), and others.

Milton Banana started to be interested in music very early in life, especially percussion, and was always a fan of Orquestra Tabajara. A self-taught musician, soon he was playing with several dance bands, such as Steve Bernard's, Djalma Ferreira's, Gerardi e Seu Conjunto Rex, and others. In 1955, he joined Waldir Calmon's group, performing at the Arpège nightclub (Rio). Soon after, he went on to Djalma Ferreira's group, Os Milionários do Ritmo, which performed regularly at the Drink nightclub. In 1956, he joined the Luis Eça Trio, playing at the focal point of bossa nova, the Plaza nightclub. In 1959, Milton Banana debuted as a recording artist, participating inJoão Gilberto's first album, Chega de Saudade. In 1962, he participated in the important show Encontro (produced by Aluísio de Oliveira), together with João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes, and Os Cariocas, at the Au Bon Gourmet nightclub (Rio). In that same year, he traveled to Argentina with João Gilberto, where they spent a season at the 676 nightclub. In November, he went to New York and played at the Carnegie Hall Bossa Nova Festival. In 1963, he played the drums on the Getz-Gilberto album and toured with João Gilberto, João Donato (piano), and Tião Neto (bass) through Italy and France. Returning to Brazil, he formed his group, the Milton Banana Trio. At that time it was very unusual for a drummer to lead a group. The trio, which had several different lineups, recorded nine albums for Odeon and some more for RCA, another rare accomplishment for a Brazilian drummer. Some of those LPs have been reissued as CDs, such as Balançando com o Milton Banana Trio, Sambas de Bossa: Milton Banana, Os Originais: Milton Banana Trio, and Ao Meu Amigo Tom. In 1965, Milton Banana accompanied João Gilberto in his Brazil performances. In 1977, he performed, together with João Donato, in the group Fogueira 3, playing Afro-sambas. He scaled back his activities, but occasionally performed his solo acts until his death.

Biografía
por Alvaro Neder

Milton Banana es el músico que inventó el estilo de batería de la bossa nova. Músico de sesión muy ocupado durante el primer período de la bossa nova, grabó el histórico Chega de Saudade (el álbum de debut de João Gilberto), el igualmente histórico Getz-Gilberto, y grabó extensamente con Tom Jobim, João Donato y muchos otros. También actuó todas las noches con gente como Luís Eça, Johnny Alf, Roberto Menescal, Carlos Lyra, Ed Lincoln, Newton Mendoça, Claudete Soares, Baden Powell, Sérgio Mendes, Luís Bonfá, Bola Sete (en Punta del Este, Uruguay), y otros.

Milton Banana empezó a interesarse por la música muy pronto, especialmente por la percusión, y siempre fue un fan de la Orquesta Tabajara. Músico autodidacta, pronto tocó con varias orquestas de baile, como la de Steve Bernard, Djalma Ferreira, Gerardi e Seu Conjunto Rex, y otras. En 1955, se unió al grupo de Waldir Calmon, actuando en la discoteca Arpège (Río). Poco después, pasó al grupo de Djalma Ferreira, Os Milionários do Ritmo, que actuaba regularmente en la discoteca Drink. En 1956, se unió al Trío Luis Eça, que actuaba en el centro neurálgico de la bossa nova, la discoteca Plaza. En 1959, Milton Banana debutó como artista discográfico, participando en el primer álbum de João Gilberto, Chega de Saudade. En 1962, participó en el importante espectáculo Encontro (producido por Aluísio de Oliveira), junto con João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes y Os Cariocas, en la discoteca Au Bon Gourmet (Río). Ese mismo año, viajó a Argentina con João Gilberto, donde pasaron una temporada en la discoteca 676. En noviembre, viajó a Nueva York y tocó en el Carnegie Hall Bossa Nova Festival. En 1963, tocó la batería en el álbum Getz-Gilberto y realizó una gira con João Gilberto, João Donato (piano) y Tião Neto (bajo) por Italia y Francia. De vuelta a Brasil, formó su grupo, el Milton Banana Trio. En aquella época era muy poco habitual que un batería dirigiera un grupo. El trío, que tuvo varias formaciones diferentes, grabó nueve álbumes para Odeon y algunos más para RCA, otro raro logro para un batería brasileño. Algunos de esos LP se han reeditado en CD, como Balançando com o Milton Banana Trio, Sambas de Bossa: Milton Banana, Os Originais: Milton Banana Trio y Ao Meu Amigo Tom. En 1965, Milton Banana acompañó a João Gilberto en sus actuaciones en Brasil. En 1977, actuó, junto con João Donato, en el grupo Fogueira 3, tocando afro-sambas. Redujo sus actividades, pero de vez en cuando actuó en solitario hasta su muerte.
