Macho

In 1975 former DJ and record dealer Jacques Fred Petrus and his companion Mauro Malavasi, a masterful piano player and teacher at the conservatory of Bologna, formed the Goody music production company (GMP). Petrus was the one that took care of all the business contacts, contracts, promotions etc. Malavasi on his side was the more low-key genius creator of the music. His role was always fixed more or less, Petrus' more inpatient and restless having difficulties to keep his hands away from all areas within the GMP, even the musical creation process.

The goal was to create their own music in the disco genre, a wish that became reality in 1978 when they launched Macho as their first joint project. Macho was a faceless studio project that got its name from the lead singer Marzio Vincenzi's nickname "Macho".

The band is especially interesting as it was Petrus' and Malavasi's baptism of fire in the music business. It wasn't a simple task though to launch a completely new project like this as the competition was extremely hard. They were convinced though to succeed. Petrus was self-confident that his knowledge that he had built up as a DJ and record dealer during the 70s was enough. He had also very good knowledge about what the potential buyers of records and visitors at Disoteques wanted to hear.
