Túlio Araújo is a Brazilian percussionist from Belo Horizonte. He studied at the renowned Bitucaoficial Universidade, with masters such as Ian Guest, Serginho Silva and Felipe Moreira.

He is in NYC for a couple of months, releasing his 2 albums ("Manguêra" and "East") and showing the power of what he calls "little pucket drum set".
