Born in the rural city of Louveira in the State of São Paulo amidst grape vines, lush green plantations and blue skies,multi-instrumentalist and music producer, Luccas Martins brings the freshness and light of the fruit circuit city to his compositions. Luccas had a strong musical influence in his family from birth. His grandfather, known as “Seu Zico Martins” played the trombone for over 50 years in what is now the symphonic band of Louveira. As a teenager, Luccas had his first dab with an acoustic guitar and soon started learning the tambourine, a versatile and fascinating instrument, which opened the doors to the world of percussion where he now leads his life as a professional musician. Experimentation and originality are Luccas’ trademarks, whether as a percussionist, researching and augmenting his collection with distinctive instruments including the handpan, a harmonic drum that evolved from caribbean steel drums, and the berimbau, a traditional instrument perhaps best known for providing the soundtrack to capoeira, the rhythmic Brazilian martial art; as a composer creating arrangements for groups ranging from symphonic orchestras to quartets, including the unconventional lineup of the Luccas Martins Trupe, with accordion, trumpet, vibraphone and percussion; or as a producer, using innovative recording and mixing techniques that give an authentic aesthetic to any project.
