Biography

Juli Manzi was born in Porto Alegre on April 14, 1976. He has a brother, Giancarlo, a physicist at the Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron. [1] He graduated in Journalism from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. During his youth, he played for rock bands Los Bassetas and Colono Escocês and wrote poems for his college newspapers. It wasn't until 1999 when he released his solo debut album, 340 Exigências de Camarim, which was a critical and commercial success and awarded him a nomination to the Prêmio Açorianos. [2] His second album, Todo o Perfex, came out in 2002.

After a 8-year hiatus from music, Manzi moved to São Paulo in 2010, [3] where he formed the group Coletivo Absoluto alongside Rodrigo Caldas, his former Colono Escocês bandmate Oliveira de Araújo and Marcelo Pianinho of Mundo Livre S/A. [4] Their first and so far only self-titled album came out the same year. [5]

In 2012 he released his third solo album, Ponto Cego, which counted with guest appearances by Frank Jorge and Maurício Pereira. [6] In 2015 Manzi returned to Porto Alegre for the first time in two years to promote his then-upcoming fourth album, O Plano Transcendental. [7] His fifth and most recent album, Sambas, Pagodes e Uá-Uás, came out in 2018. [8]

He also co-wrote the semi-fictional autobiography of his life-long friend Flávio Basso (better known as Jupiter Apple), A Odisseia: Memórias e Devaneios de Jupiter Apple, [9] which was published the year following Basso's death, in 2016. [10]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Samba</span> Brazilian musical genre

Samba, is a name or prefix used for several rhythmic variants, such as samba urbano carioca, samba de roda, recognized as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, amongst many other forms of Samba, mostly originated in the Rio de Janeiro and Bahia States. Samba is a broad term for many of the rhythms that compose the better known Brazilian music genres that originated in the Afro-Brazilian communities of Bahia in the late 19th century and early 20th century, having continued its development on the communities of Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century. Having its roots in the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé, as well as other Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous folk traditions, such as the traditional Samba de Caboclo, it is considered one of the most important cultural phenomena in Brazil and one of the country's symbols. Present in the Portuguese language at least since the 19th century, the word "samba" was originally used to designate a "popular dance". Over time, its meaning has been extended to a "batuque-like circle dance", a dance style, and also to a "music genre". This process of establishing itself as a musical genre began in the 1910s and it had its inaugural landmark in the song "Pelo Telefone", launched in 1917. Despite being identified by its creators, the public, and the Brazilian music industry as "samba", this pioneering style was much more connected from the rhythmic and instrumental point of view to maxixe than to samba itself.
