Amedeo & Belinda
      Amedeo
           &
      Belinda

Freely blending Jazz, Afro-Cuban and Brazilian influences into their own inspired compositions and interpretations. An unusual combination of guitar, cello and voice.

BELINDA not only bows her instrument exquisitely, she plays astounding pizzicato bass lines, as well.
Her vocals in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and English are as delightful as her stage presence is riveting. Born and raised in Cuba and conservatory trained in Moscow, she draws effortlessly from a seemingly bottomless musical well, both as a com-poser and player/singer.

AMEDEO is a world-class guitarist, a brilliantly lyrical improviser, equally well-versed in Jazz har-mony and latin rhythms. Originally from a family of professional musicians in Italy, Amedeo is widely traveled. He has played in The Middle East, Africa, South America and through-out Europe and Scandinavia. His command of many idioms from Blues to Jazz and Latin music is apparent in his soloing as well as his memorable compositions.

Together Amedeo & Belinda have created a rain-bow palette of exciting sounds that stay with the listener long after the performance has ended. At a time when much of the music we hear is contrived and laden with clichés, this perfectly-matched duo plays with a joyous inventiveness that goes right to the heart of even the most jaded listener. To hear and see them perform is an uplifting musical adven-ture, to be sure!
