Greetings, I’m Marco.
I am a culture writer, music maker, and multi-medium producer. Currently, I am a Program Director at Texas Folklife, a non-profit foundation based in Austin that supports traditional and folklore arts in the state of Texas. I manage the Apprenticeship Program, which supports underrepresented artists through grants.
I’m also a Phd student in The University of Texas’ American Studies department. I research, write, and create content about Latin American music, politics, technology, and culture. My work concentrates on the intersectional cultural production between the Black and Italian diasporas in the Americas.
My current musical project involves producing Uruguayan Candombe with members of La Calenda Beat from Montevideo, Uruguay.
Here, I host some of my past and current work. I like to work on creative projects that boost the visibility and understanding of culture, no matter the medium.
