Biography

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Dom Um Romão (Aug 3, 1925 / Jun 26, 2005) started out his career playing the drums at parties and cabarets in his hometown. He worked on Radio Tupi, accompanying singers, and in the 1950s, formed Copa Trio, which played at Beco das Garrafas, the famous Bossa Nova nightclub in Copacabana. In 1958, he participated in the recording of “Canção do Amor Demais”, by Elizeth Cardoso, with songs by Tom Jobim and João Gilberto on the guitar - the starting point of Bossa Nova. In the 60s, he played with Sergio Mendes, with whom he took part in the Bossa Nova Festival at Carnegie Hall, Nova York, in 1962.
