Hi,

My name is Marcelo Effori and I am a drummer.

Last year I went to H.I.F.A, in Harare, Zimbabwe, to play with a brazilian singer and composer called André Abujamra.

Everything was right but on my way back to Brazil SAA lost my cymbals. I arrived on may 4th 2008, and my hardcase with my best cymbals never came.

I called SAA several times and went to their office to describe the inside content of my case. I have videos, pics and the bag receipt that can prove that I’m telling the truth.

So, now I’m trying to get my rights with the help of brazilian justice. I found a lawyer office that is supporting me on this and I hope to get the money of the cymbals back, plus my lawyer taxes, as soon as possible.

I’m a professional drummer and depend on my cymbals to do my work. Good cymbals are like work of art, and drummers spent lots of money and time searching for the best for their setup. I’m 39 years old, and I play as a professional since I was 19. I use to travel abroad playing for the last ten years and I never lose any gear. I was the very first time a air company lost my stuff, and was also the very first time I fly SAA. No doubt was also the last. SAA sucks!

thanks a lot for the attention

best regards

and sorry about any broken english…
