Fabio Tagliaferri



Fabio Tagliaferri is an extraordinary musician from Sao Paulo. He plays the Viola, an instrument a little bigger than the violin, and with a deeper sound.

Fabio has released two albums: "Viola" and "So Um e Muito So" (One is too Lonely).

On "Viola", Fabio plays different Brazilian music styles including chorinho, baião, salsa, balada and valsa. The listener will also come accross some music composed by Mr. tagliaferri, such as 'Sabrina', and 'Pela Manha' in the voice of the Portuguese singer Eugenia Melo e Castro. The song entitled 'Terra Estrangeira' (Foreign Land), composed by Jose Miguel Wisnik with arrangements by Swami Jr., was part of the sound track of the movie that received the same name.

On the he album "So Um e Muito So" (One is too Lonely) Fabio teamed up with great names of the Brazilian music such as Luiz Tatit, Manu Lafer, Tiago Torres, Paulinho Moska, Inacio Zatz and Arnaldo Antunes to compose magnificent songs interpreted by Arnaldo Antunes, Jeanne de Castro, Luiz Tatit,Marcia Lopes, Monica Salmaso, Na Ozetti, Paulinho Moska, Rodrigo Rodrigues and Virginia Rosa.

Lots of names packed in one CD providing you the possibility of tasting a little bit of the best in the Brazilian contemporary music. Click here to listen to fragments of songs in this album.

As for my personal take on this: I am a proud friend of Fabio!

Hope you enjoy his music!
