He starts playing the guitar around 1987, after
the influence of the music from the 70's and 80's.
His mother was a recognized ballerina who used to
perform both spanish dances and ballet, first ballerina
of the group formed by the "flower sisters",
and member of the "ROMERIA" shows along
with recognized names such
as: Maria Antinea, Pedrito Rico, Lola Flores, Carmen
Amaya, Juan Legido, etc. She traveled the whole world
after her dream, however, an accident at the early
age of twentyfive finished her professional career.
Mariano remembers his early years when Maria de Jesus(Mother)
listened to the classical vinyls of the great composers:
Bach, Vivaldi, Paganini, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovski,
among others, and several times he could see Maria
with eyes full of tears when the only remembrance
of the unsuccesful effort was tearing her soul apart.
He felt all that pain as well and cried many times
without knowing certainly why.
Music put a seal to his life under her influence,
classical compositions are part of his daily basis,
due to melodies, feelings, and the remembrance from
the past, wich are the reasons for his style and compositions.
At the age of eight years old he listened for the
very first time to "Kiss" with the big promotion
of the record "Dinasty" throughout the world,
their daring looks caught his attention inmediatly
and that was the push Brascich needed to start appreciating
rock and roll. Right after Kiss came Queen, Deep Purple,
Rainbow, Yes, The Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, Scorpions,
Motley Crue, Wasp, Europe, AC/DC, and others.
In the very beginning had the influences well established,
in other words, wasn't too difficult for him to take
them to the instrument.
Mariano had an old spanish guitar that belonged to
his grandfather, an antique from 1930 wich he used
to practice for twelve and sometimes fifteen hours
a day, he still hangs it on the wall like one of his
most valuable heirlooms. Thanks to such an effort
he formed the first band in five months named "Apocalypsis"
and recorded two LP's with a Christian message about
"The final Days", after that he began working
with a band called "The old locomotive from the
West", name taken from his native town "Gral.
Rodriguez" located at the very west of Argentina,
plenty of railways.
Later on he goes back to the Capital and creates the
third project "Pact of blood" with marked
influence of classical music and performers as Malmsteen,
Cacophony, Rainbow, Purple...
