Father/Mother - Educator - Professional Capuerista - Musician - Composer - Bilingual Writer - Cultural and Environmental Activist. Born and raised in the Brazilian Amazon jungle, I have been active since 1974 performing and producing creative music and arts. I hold an extensive unique experience with the culture of Capuêra (Kaa-poera, Capoeira Capuera, etc), Brazilian music, classical, folk, jazz, rock and commercial performance. I consider my top achievement in life the education I generate to inspire the welfare of my dear daughter Marina, born and raised in Bondi Beach. Living in Brazil, Europe and Australia, I studied Brazilian, French, Spanish, English, German and Italian.
As a writer, I use my languages to write multilingual books. Since 1995, in Australia, I have written and published a variety of multilingual books, in the languages of the Aussie, Brazilian, French, Spanish, Italian and German taxpayers. I teach music, compose, record and perform my original songs and covers of various genres at my concerts. I also spent 20 years working as a full time and part-time bassist in symphonic orchestras and have been a member and conductor in classical and folkloric vocal and instrumental ensembles, in Brazil and Australia. In my youth, I achieved national volleyball rank in Brazil.
My best hobby is to play beach volleyball at Bondi Beach with my family and friends. In 1988 I pioneered the establishment of the first Australian School of Capoeira in Sydney at the Bondi Pavilion Community Cultural Center. Since that time, I teach and perform Capoeira and music for a variety of events, in Australia and worldwide. In 1994, in Sydney, I became a foundation member for the Brazilian Community Council of Australia (B.
