TOTAL UNKNOWN his first solo CD is a different and original Brazilian Groovy Pop album that was released last year. Here is what some critics had to say about Mario's album:

''...Mixing traditional samba sounds with a fresher than fresh Gen-Y approach to sounds and instruments. Loops, samples and various keyboard experiments pair up with guitars, strings, brass and drums on exciting tunes like FUTURA MENINA ANDINA and A VIDA EM SETE. Costa's voice is enthusiastic and confidant, delivering the lyrics in various languages and styles. ...this guy has enough moxie to keep you coming back for more.''

George W. Harris Jazz Weekly
''...Almost like a new genus, a Brazilian jazz influenced pop album... an impressive, perhaps avant-garde...in Brazilian music concepts... The Brazilian music movement seems to know how to bring innovation with excitement to their efforts.''

Harvey Barkan L.A. Jazz Scene
