   About Marco Castillo
MARCO CASTILLO was born in Rio de Janeiro Capital of Samba in Brazil.

Comfortably settled in his new home of Winnipeg, Marco Castillo has quickly become one of the city’s busiest musicians, bringing his blend of Brazilian music and jazz and funk to audiences in the ‘Peg. Building on the success of the first true Brazilian recording to be done and released in Winnipeg ("Brazilian Season", 2008 - recorded by CBC), Castillo has now established regular gig's on different venues in town, always packed with music fans and musical collaborators. And that’s natural for Castillo who has tons of experience playing all styles of music in Brazil. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he was raised into a musical family (his father Tony Cunha made over 40 recordings). Marco quickly determined music would be his path. After living in Guatemala where he began learning guitar, he returned to Brazil when he was 13, and hooked up with his first trio. By 20, he was recording and touring throughout Brazil with the Iraquitan Trio. A stint with Guio de Morais Orchestra at Rio’s most popular show was followed by work with artists such as Marcio Montarroyos, Rosa Marya Colin, Luis Carlos Batera creator of the Banda Black Rio, Claudia and others. Since his arrival he has hooked up with the best musicians in the city, from Ken Gold to Steve Kirby to Ron Paley to Rodrigo Muñoz to Scott Senior, sharing his vibrant and energetic music. Marco debut his brand new project "Brazilian Beats" this year and that was a Latin sensation band performing on Winnipeg Jazz Festival 2009 and has rocked the music scene in Winnipeg with his uplifting contagious latin rhytms. In listening to his CD you'll understand why he is quickly becoming a musician-in-demand in the Canada music scene. Now Marco is working in several different projects.

Marco, eu gostaba aprender ou que sabes da musica Brazileira. Queres un estudiante? I enjoyed the ease in which you performed and need to see more, 1 set wasn't enough for me. Apologies for my bad portuguese...
