He studied classical and jazz double bass in State Music School Tom Jobim in Sao Paulo (EMESP - Tom Jobim), Prague Conservatory, HAMU and Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität in Linc.
Luan Goncalves plays double bass and bass guitar. Contemporary "classical" music, "experimental", "alternative", "free Improvisation" and "avant-garde jazz" are some of the imprecise and quite unnecessary labels that can usually give an idea of how the music he's involved in sounds like.
Some of the most active groups he plays with are Talaqpo, Paliome, Stratocluster, Jungle Debris, Mušhuššu, Ensemble Terrible, Chapadla, Hot Brew and SwingHouse Orchestra.
