And with every touch. Oh when the invitation came to play with Madball (in 2006 and 2007) were surprised and pleased, knowing that this was a consequence of many years in battle. In 2006 I was also invited to address a clip of the band, a unique opportunity. The effect of work was enormous, not only in Brazil and abroad. The most gratifying was to hear the actual tape that the video was more important that they have done. Clip that has more information here: http://datoro.com/html/madball.html
