   About Deodato Siquir
DEODATO SIQUIR drummer, singer, composer, arranger,Winner of the NGOMA Revelation Award Mozambique 2008!

”Tasty African Danish- Deodato Siquir has made a solid and enjoyable African jazz CD here. At times his breezy style is similar to that of Cameroon’s Richard Bona- light, accessible, full of catchy riffs, pleasant vocals and expertly played solos. Repeated listening reveals further pleasures and nuances that are more than enough to make this disc one to keep and savor”. Tom Orr/ World Music Central

”Balanço made a splash in the international world music/jazz arena. The record climbed charts to take a place in World Music Europe’s Top Ten”. Evan C. Gutierrez/ All Music Guide

”The rich texture of Siquir’s voice is just one of many qualities he reveals in a debut album that underlinesthe maturity of this migrant from Mozambique. Siquir is at his best when he introduces a sense of urgency to his compositions, with ”Harmony” being a particularly fine example of this. The latter takes off largely thanks to the outstanding contribution by renowned bass player Linley Marthe, as well as the backing vocals. The lyrics move effortlessly from Portuguese to Mozambican Ronga...this multi-talented artist stretches his musical world further, as he begins to do in ”Ao Meu Povo” and the closing track ”Chegou Alegria”. If he does, Deodato Siquir’s infectious smile and livewire live performances are likely to spread beyond the circle of admirers he has established in Scandinavia”. Daniel Brown/ Mondomix.com

”Surprisingly fresh tones from Mozambique! Siquir wrote, arranged and produced all songs, and also as drummer he can than only be wanted to be heard more! Since this is to be heard with his debut, lets hope for more!” Luigi Lauer/ Folker.de

Deodato Siquir was born in a musicians family, in Maputo, Mozambique in 1975, Siquir started his musical carrier at the age of 13 on a self made drum kit, he was performing as professional drummer in several orchestras from the age of 15. He moved to Sweden in 2001 since then Siquir works with musicians from all over the world, like Etienne Mbappé, Jorge Bezerra, Linley Marthe, Soweto Kinch, Moussa Diallo, Bobby Rickets and many others.

His debut solo album BALANÇO, that was pre-leased at Womex 2007 in Sevilla, and got great reviews internationally. Since the release, its been on World Music Charst Europe Top 20 for 3 months, on top 10 on RDP Africa, recieving 5 Djembes and nominated Top of the World in the Danish music magazine Djembe (now Cultures) , Balanço has been reviewed by mondomix.com, Behind The Notes, Jazz Special, World Music Central etc. and won the Mozambican national NGOMA Revelation Award.

BALANÇO is recorded in Copenhagen - Denmark 2006-2007, with participation of great musicians from around the world like: Linley Marthe, Phong Le, Sal Dibba, Nacimi Brahimi, Luis Varona,Carlos Perez, Romain Coutama,Jakob Dinesen, Ed Epstein, Ayi Solomon,Preben Carlsen, Simon Spang, José Antonio, Eliel Lazo, Rune Thorsteinsson,Laurent Fricault, Dua Maciel & Deborah Herbert.
The songs on the album are Siquir’s compositions and arrangements written in the period between 2001 and 2006.
The music has warm, grooving pulses from Mozambique such as Marrabenta, Muthimba, and Muganda, coloured with Jazz, resulting in a sophisticated vibrant sound.
Add soft poetic singing in a mix of Portuguese, English and Ronga and lyrics on universal themes.
