 Obrigado ! I'm gonna take some time to check those clips. There are so many performances of him posted on Youtube, lol.
I believe he was the nephew of the late Tim Maia, who was also very popular in Brasil. A collector of Brasilian grooves once hooked me up to Motta's sambas. I bought spare copies which he had of Ed's debut-album and his third LP, and have purchased most of his albums since then. Had a ball to finally attend a Motta-jam a few years back. What was so funny, is that bandmembers in Brasil get named after their instrument. So during that show i saw, Ed introduced his guitarman as "Paulinho Guitarra"  And on a live-cd from him released around 1993, he announces one of the hornplayers as "Serginho Trombone" 
Serginho also released a cd under that name, lol. Here his 3rd album and a more recent one. Dig his vintage design, inspired by the "Tin Tin"-character of illustrator Herge.  
You also watched his live-dvd , released on the cool Brasilian Trama-label ? 
At one point during the show, Tania Maria shows up onstage and Ed looks like a happy kid by watching her perform 
The cat has a serious record collection too. What you see here below is a small part of the lot.  | |

My favorite Motta albums so far are: Manual Pratico Para Festas, Bailes E Afins, Vol. 1, Aystelum, and his new one, entitled " Chapter 9"

... Yep! there's one track on "Manual..." which has the same drum-intro as "Brickhouse" from the Commodores, lol (forgot the title now) "Astelym" is the last one i bought. Great project indeed, and also dig that sort of more classical-written medley of the album, which is segmented in a few parts. Looking forward to go check "Chapter 9" | |
