João do Pife, one of the fife masters in Caruaru, is
known for its joy, friendliness and, mainly, for its
mastery in the art of playing and playing the fife. Born in the municipality of
Riacho das Almas, he grew up “playing novenas at the foot of the mountain”,
but it was only at the Caruaru Fair that his legacy began to be
recognized. By selling his fifes at the Handicraft Fair of
Caruaru ended up attracting the Vitalinos' ears with its "tone",
who felt in João's breaths the melodies of Vitalino, the Master
from Barro. And from this meeting, mediated by music, a
friendship and a partnership that lasts until the present day.
With the Dois Irmãos Pífanos Band, inherited from his father, João
do Pife has taken the sound of the taboca flute to the four corners
from Brazil and to other countries, such as the United States, Canada,
France, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, England, Norway, Portugal,
Holanda, among others, with a repertoire full of rhythms, such as
waltz, baião, xote, drag-pé, ciranda and original music.
