Meet Itaiata De Sá, one of the percussionists of Macho Beta Orquestra . Born and raised in Salvador de Bahia, he began his career with Olodum — the legendary Bahian percussion group. After moving to Italy, he went on to collaborate with some of the biggest names in Italian and world music: Negrita, Piero Pelù, Roy Paci and Caetano Veloso!!!
He played percussion on HELLdorado (2008) by Negrita — a platinum-certified album and one of the most celebrated Italian rock records of that decade.
He was a key member of Roy Paci & Aretuska on Suonoglobal (2007), the summer when Toda Joia Toda Beleza became one of the most played songs on Italian radio and charts.
On the Macho Beta Orquestra album, he not only plays percussion but also lends his voice to a verse of Sempre Tarde de Manhã.
Now based in Florence, he is a central figure in the local Brazilian music scene, leading the Roda de Samba do Malandro.

The video for "Vamos Para O Rio" is out now — an electronic baião from the Macho Beta Orquestra album!
Once again, the video was created by Gionni Dall'Orto , this time with the illustrations also featuring the work of Alicia Clo Soares (who happens to be the daughter of Badarò Gil).

As always, the video perfectly captures the tropical energy of the track! 🌴🎶

We’re pleased to share the debut self-titled album by Macho Beta Orquestra produced by DJ FARRAPO & Gionni Dall'Orto.

Macho Beta Orquestra is a collective of Italian and Brazilian musicians brought together by Gionni Dall’Orto.

Conceived as a deeply collaborative project, each track on this debut album is shaped by the unique contribution of the artists involved, creating a collective sound laboratory built on exchange and contamination.

The result is a sincere, ironic and playful album rooted in Brazilian beats, celebrating a social and collaborative vision where no single ego or leader prevails.
