Humberto Gessinger Musical artist
Humberto Gessinger (born December 24, 1963) is the singer and bassist of the Brazilian band Engenheiros do Hawaii.Gessinger was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil. In late 1984, he formed a rock band with two friends from the faculty of architecture at UFRGS, Carlos Maltz and Marcelo Pitz, to play in a parade made by students. The band decided to call themselves Engenheiros do Hawaii (Engineers from Hawaii), which was a name making fun of the surf wears that most of the Engineering students used to wear at the university campus.The band released their first album in 1986, although they had already appeared in a 'promising bands' collection of BMG Music at 1985. With the departure of Marcelo Pitz in May 1987, Gessinger started playing bass and the band recruited Augusto Licks as lead guitarist. In 2001, with yet another new formation of the band (Paulinho Galvão on guitar, Bernardo Fonseca on bass and Gláucio Ayala on drums) he returned to lead guitar. After the band ended its activities, Gessinger joined the friend and musician Duca Leindecker, former leader of the band Cidadão Quem. They created the duo Pouca Vogal, who stayed active for 4 years, till both singers decided to go on with their solo careers... Humberto Gessinger is now recording a solo album which will feature 11-14 songs, however, for his tour he joins Esteban Tavares from Fresno and Paulinho Goulart.
