Raul de Souza

Raul é da geração dos Caufields, os rebeldes-sem-causa que adolesceram no pós-guerra e logo viram — ele com seus olhos de sábio chinês — que o mundo estava cada vez mais errado. E que providência tomou? Não saiu por aí fazendo discursos nem política, apenas botou a boca no trombone. O trombone — que surgiu na Europa lá pelos 1400s com o nome de sacabucha — é um instrumento rouco e grave, como a voz do Raul. Se o trombone não existisse, Raul o teria inventado. Aliás, inventou um trombone, que leva o seu nome: o Souzabone, com quatro válvulas, um aperfeiçoamento do trombone de três válvulas que tocou na primeira década de carreira, antes de adotar o trombone de vara. Sempre com uma ideia na cabeça: "A música é o real alimento da alma."
