A new friend and great bass player from Brazil, Raphael is an amazing talent.  Raphael is constantly gigging, one needs only to look at the performance schedule on his MySpace page to know he's living the bass guitar.  A fantastic groove player with a great feel, from a place I've never been…with a language I can't speak!  I hope to meet Raphael and learn more about him very soon. 

Nice playing Raphael we are very happy to have you representing Hartke in Brazil.  Thanks!

Check out Raphael on YouTube and his MySpace page.
