A musician for 30 years, Washington Torres dos Santos is inspired by his religiosity to compose and express his art. As a Candomblecist, Tom uses themes from African-based religions in his songs, also expressing his strong desire to go much deeper into the world of music.
His Brazilian musicality and bold interpretations won, in addition to a loyal audience, the praise of critics. As an interpreter, Erick worked with the groups Cesta Básica (PB), Mercedes Band (CE) and Grupo Etc and Tal (AL), already with the groups Sine Qua Non (PB) and Zaraquê Trio (RN) recorded albums where he also acted as composer.
