關於 ACACIO CARVALHO .:. Session and touring drummer
Acácio started playing the drums at age 10 and has studied with many tutors in Brasília-Brazil (his hometown), with whom he has learned the first "steps" about his instrument.
At age 14, Acacio had been in contact with heavier bands and drummers, getting more interested and feeling more deep-inside in double bass techiniques.
During this time Acacio started playing in local bands, where he had the opportunity of improve his techinical and artistical skills. Among the bands he had been in, one can point at Amrtam, Black Sunrise and Death Tribute.
Such works gave him a strong visibility among his local public, bringing the invitation for the legendary band "DARK AVENGER". Playing among other musicians from all over the country, he was chosen to fit the vacancy.
At 17, Acacio had his first opportunity to spread his work abroad. With Dark Avenger, he went through all parts of Brazil, taking part in the biggest and most important music festivals and recorded a live album entitled "Alive in the Dark", which was recorded in Sao Paulo (Brazil) and had the participation of an orchestra on the stage.
During these times, Acacio started to have more views over his drumming work and lots of invitations for interviews, clinics and masterclasses started to come. He was featured in many magazines and webzines worldwide, like the American Magazine "Modern Drummer".
In June 2005, after the Dark Avenger's end, Acacio decided to set up a new project, with his old friends from the band (also ex-Dark Avengers) Hugo Santiago and Gzus. It would be a daring and totally new project, in which it refers to heavy metal and music in general. Based on this concept, was created "VOUGAN". Along with Vougan Acacio played two Brazilian tours, one North American tour and recorded two albums til the end of 2009.
Nowadays Acacio lives in the United States and has been touring and recording with some of the best and most important artists in the world rock scenario, besides composing for his band Vougan and teaching his art for several students throughout the world.
