Umanto's Info

bio

Umanto (born Marcos Antônio Trocoli) was born in Santos, 1977. From an early age, he knew that he wanted to be a musician. His first music gigs happened when his mother gave him an acustic guitar at the age of ten. Umanto formed several bands while in hig school. In 1998, Umanto graduated in publicity from Metodista University in São Paulo, Brazil. After graduation, he moved to São Paulo and started his musical carrer. He studied piano - Prof. Fábio Sampietri (Espaço Musical); Harmony - Prof. Claúdio Ferreira Leal, Composition - Prof. Ricardo Breim (Espaço Musical) and Voice - Prof. Madalena Bernardes - (Voz em Movimento). Professional accomplishments: Shows: "Duetos Carmem Miranda" (research, direction, production and singer). "Trague Noel", about a brasilian songwriter, Noel Rosa (production, arranjes e singer). Theater work: He has done work as a composer for several plays, such as, "Ritual dos 7", "Jardim Interior" ( both directed by Thereza Piffer) and Morte e Vida Severina (dir. by Pablo Moreira) at PUC University, São Paulo. Film work: He signed the soundtrack of a movie, "Quanto vale ou é por quilo", dir. Sergio Bianchi and a short feature movie, "2 Opções", dir. Rafael Nasser Currently, Umanto continues to work on his next CD-Maxi and tours in Brazil. Umanto is a fusion of the personality of the Brazilian music with the most current urban sonority. His work was born in the heart of the sweet melodies and rhythms influenced by the samba beats from the 20's, 30's and 40's and legendary Brazilian artists and renamed world composers such as Noel Rosa and Tom Jobim, Villa Lobos, João Gilberto, Dorival Caymmi, Adoniram Barbosa, Rita Lee, Debussy Bartok, Bach, Beatles, Chico Buarque and Björk. The contemporary side of Umanto is expressed in the way he pictures reality with subtle clarity. The electronic texture is also another characteristic of his work which refers to the metropolis. The groove and its controlled bpm's inspire and define the rhythm of the Brazilian soul.
