Paco Abujamra

Born in November 13, 1966 in São Paulo, Brazil and raised in the country, it was always in very close contact with the Country Music, style he has always dreamed of work with some day.

Great names as Hank Williams and Hank Williams Jr., Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Roy Orbison, the band Alabama; and later Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Clay Walker, Travis Tritt, and George Strait among others, had great influence in his personality and musical learning, but none of them had the same role as Elvis Presley did in his formation.

 

At the age of 16 as a drummer, he was part of a pop band which never left the garage.

In 1992, thinking that the possibility of work with music no longer existed, he moved to Oklahoma in the United States of America where he learned English.

The following year, he took the Ranch Management Program at Texas Christian University, in Fort Worth, TX, program directly related to his working area in Brazil. But he never left aside his guitar, and perhaps for the fact of being alone, far away from home, and much closer to the Country Music, he also began to compose.

Back to Brazil, he followed his career in ranching, but the intimacy created in the US added to the passion for the Country Music allow him to make that old dream come true for some breaf and precious moments, whenever there was a guitar and a few friends around.

In 1997, through a friend, he met the members of the first formation of Mad Bull Country Band, which didn't work out, and finally on April 28, 1998 it began to rehearse, materializing a dream that wasn't expected to be accomplish anymore.
