Junior Ribeiro “Braguinha” is a Brazilian bass prodigy and a global music sensation who has firmly established himself as one of the most explosive and respected bass players of his generation.

Born into a musical family, Braguinha picked up the bass at an early age, performing in church bands before entering the professional recording studio at just 14 years old. His extraordinary technique—characterized by rapid-fire slap phrases, complex fingerstyle lines, and an unshakeable rhythmic pocket—quickly made him a highly sought-after session player and collaborator.

Deeply rooted in his Brazilian heritage, Braguinha’s unique voice on the instrument seamlessly bridges the gaps between Fusion, Funk, Jazz, World Music, and Contemporary Gospel.
His breathtaking technical videos have captured a massive international audience, turning his digital platforms into a major hub for bass education and viral performances.

Braguinha’s world-class versatility and definitive tone have led him to share the stage, record, and tour with legendary international icons and virtuosos, including Virgil Donati, Hadrien Feraud, Alex Argento, André Nieri, Leonardo Gonçalves…

Whether anchoring a powerhouse heavy fusion groove or leading his own jazz ensemble, Braguinha demands an amplification setup that can replicate his lightning-fast dynamics and rich harmonic definition without compromising power. As a proud member of the Markbass Artist Family, Junior Braguinha continues to push the boundaries of modern electric bass worldwide.
