Giorgio Tuma, hailing from Lecce, Italy, has established himself as a luminary, alongside peers like FITNESS FOREVER. Collaborating closely with Alice Rossi and his band OS TUMANTES—a nod to the Brazilian tropicalia pioneers OS MUTANTES—Tuma has crafted works of unparalleled melodic depth and rich arrangements. His music draws inspiration from a diverse array of artists, including Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Marcos Valle, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, THE FREE DESIGN, Astrud Gilberto, Chet Baker, Brian Wilson, and Italian composers like Piero Piccioni and Piero Umiliani. Tuma's discography includes three albums, with "My Vocalese Fun Fair" (2008) and "In The Morning We'll Meet" (2011). These works have garnered acclaim from esteemed publications such as Mojo, lauding the delicate beauty of his jazz-pop-inflected melodies. Tuma's compositions evoke the nocturnal reflections of Bahia's sea and the sunlit charm of Italy, offering a delightful experience for discerning musical palates.
