Airto Moreira is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed drummers of his generation.

Popular drummer Airto Moreira (Samba De Flora, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Moreira, a cultural icon

Born in Itaiópolis on August 5, 1941, Airto Moreira's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Brazilian history. Moreira's not just a great drummer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Airto hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Airto Moreira as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 83.

Happy Birthday, Airto, you're the best!
