 March 3, 2007 | Gilberto Silva again
When Brazilian Gilberto Silva moved to England to play soccer with the Arsenal, seems he brought a bit of his South American musical culture with him. An avid musician, he's been working with a trio of us own, Julio Baptista and Pereira Neves Denilson. "Rocky" Baptista plays cavaquinho, so it's only natural the two would jam together. The young midfielder Denilson enjoys dancing with the trio and some homegrown cooking, leaving the rest of the team to get into mischief at the local nightclubs while they enjoy their own native music.
Always nice to see music play a powerful positive role in the life of an athlete.
