Manolo (Lo) was born in Bangkok, Thailand in 1969. His mother is Thai and Lo's father Manning Garcia, a well known and respected Jazz guitarist in Thailand, was from the Philippines. Born into a musical family, Lo began playing the bass guitar at the age of nine. Tutored by his father, Lo's earliest inspirations were Dixieland, Trad Jazz, Swing and Big Band music. Lo's Father returned home early one night after he had set out to play a concert with his Dixieland band and the bassist had failed to show up - he said " Lo I need you to dep with me tonight, grab your bass" and off they went. Lo was eleven. |

From that night onwards Lo played bass for his dad's band and he soon became a well known player on the music circuit in Thailand. Both Thais and foreign tourists alike would watch and listen in amazement as this little lad who played the bass with such precision and unique style performed along side Thailand's finest musicians. Lo's life has been an enormous musical adventure. He has performed and toured throughout Asia constantly throughout the past twenty-seven years in a vast array of bands playing everything from jazz to heavy metal! He has played on numerous albums recorded by Thai artists, was the bassist for 'Autobahn' the Thai chart topping Jazz-Folk fusion band during the 1990's and backed Anastasia on her Asia Tour. Lo moved to the UK in February with his wife Nina to pursue his musical career and a new adventure .. |
