He started studying drumms at 14 with Manuel Martins and and when he was 18 entered into the Jazz School of Oporto where he studied with Mário Barreiros and later became a teacher. He was one of the members that founded the “Septet Jazz of Oporto” and the Jazz Orchestra of Oporto. In 1988 he went to Madrid to participate in some workshops with Adam Nussbaum, John Abercrombie, Jim McNealy, Jerry Bergonzi e Mike Richmond. In 1990 and 1991 he also took part in workshops with Kenny Washington, Alan Dawson, Sir Roland Hanna, Rufus Reid, Clark Terry, Hal Galper, Ira Gitler e Bill Pierce.

In 1993, he took part of the “Cumplicidades I” which was the first cultural interghange supported by Portuguese cultural organism “Gesto” (Oporto) and “Acert (Tondela) in which Portuguese musicians made a journey to the most important cities of north-east of Brazil. In 1994 he was asked to co-direct together with Bill Goodwin (drummer of the Phil Woods Quintet) the drum program and percussion for the “Artico”, an organization supported by the European Union which organized courses for professional musicians in Lisbon area.

He is drummer of the “Banda da Praça da Alegria”, a direct TV program that takes place every morning and can be watched in the Channel 1 of RTP.

He is also one of the founders members of the project “world music” – Adufes (Timbrels) – an order made by the Expo 98 Commissariat. He always participates in the “Portuguese Collective of Percussion” which under the direction of Max Roach acted in the Jazz festival of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

He usually makes several tours around Europe and, besides he has participated in various television shows he also has been acting in the Hot Club de Portugal, Centro Cultural de Belém, Tivoli Theater, Aula Magna and Casa da Música as well as in some cultural rooms along Portugal. Acácio “Salero” Cardoso is used to play together with some important musicians both foreigners as Portuguese and in different musical ways.

Among them: Blues and Tradicional Jazz • Luigi Waites, Quinteto Maria Viana, Matt Lester, Raúl Marques, Sávio Araújo, Carlos Barretto, Claus Nymark, Wolfgang Fuhr, David Gausden, Eddy Goltz’ Groove Navigators, Pedro Barreiros, Heike Brockmann, António Pinto, Yuri Daniel, Bob Sands. Improvised Music • He recorded “which way what” of the composer saxophone player Patrick Brenan with the participation of the double bass player Rachim Ausar Sahu. He made several musical concerts with this band and the invited soloist was the trombonist Steve Swell, one of the most important names of the world improvised music .

There's little more to say about this album other than to recommend it very highly. This is a lovely album. Brennan's an abstract expressionist with chops. He's utterly coherent in his free associative improvisations, and he imbues his music with a great deal of timbral and rhythmic variety. His compositions are fresh and quite original. Patrick Brennan's a first class saxophonist and composer, and his trio is one of the most interesting I've heard in some time. Chris Kelsey in "CADENCE"

What's striking about the album is how tight it is, with a stop-start writing style that pushes it along from fragment to clearly defined fragment. All this without losing improvisatory grace. - Will Montgomery in "WIRE"

• He is belongs to the “Lisbon Improvisation Players” with whom has already recorded two CD’s . “Lisbon Improvisation Players/Motions » - Rodrigo Amado (baritone and saxophone tenor), Steve Adams (soprano and saxophone tenor), Ken Filiano (double bass) and Acácio Salero (drums) have participated too.

“LISBON IMPROVISATION PLAYERS - Motion (Clean Feed) "Motion" is a very enjoyable piece of work by a beautiful multi-faceted ensemble. The plurality of evolutions in Rodrigo Amado and Steve Adams' combinations of baritone, sopranino and tenor saxophones is what most jazz should be looking for these days; emancipating their music from slipslop low-key atmospheres, the two sustain continuous conversations without going astray, not even for five seconds, while Ken Filiano on double bass underlines or smears the picture, depending on temper and feeling, at the same time maintaining himself well distant from overexcitement. The variegated drumming of Acacio Salero calls our attention to another extremely gifted player: his decomposition of regularity is something to listen carefully, his colourful approach totally refreshing and diverse from any other percussionist. The quartet's fine amalgam makes any comparison useless: this is a record full of positive energy, the perfect sum of four distinguished precious artists.”

• “Lisbon Improvisation Players” - Rodrigo Amado (barytone and saxophone tenor), Marco Franco (saxophone soprano), Paulo Curado (saxophone soprano), Pedro Gonçalves (double bass) and Acácio Salero (drums & alto saxophone).
