Marcio Tarktarov was born in Jaboatão dos Guararapes, in Pernambuco, Brazil. He was born a percussionist, he was always banging on things. For him, anything is percussive: “cutlery, glass, water, our own body”. He has played on the streets of Dublin, a city which he moved to for an exchange year in order to study English. However, seven years later he remains in Dublin, assuring that without the music he would not have stayed. . .
