Daniel
Maza
The Boss of Bass Candombe

BMM Please share with us a little of your personal background…
DM My name is Daniel Maza, and I am a bass player. I was born
in South America in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay Eastern
Republic. I currently live in Buenos Aires Argentina. My house was
always very musical, my mother sang while cooking and my father
recited poems and all the family would gather to celebrate and
sing.
I am self-taught, and first studied the guitar at age 10 and played
Candombe percussion on the streets. It was inevitable that I
become a musician; music is everything to me.
