Artist of the week - Diego Sales

I'm proud to introduce my next artist of the week.

The brilliant and talented, Diego Sales.

I met Diego Sales on myspace. We both fell in love with one another's music and quickly became good music friends.

Biography:

Diego Galvão was born on the 16th of January, 1982, in São Vicente, first city of Brazil and home town of Sombrinha, a great artist of Samba. He started to play bass and guitar at the age of fifteen. He displayed an early affinity for all types of music, in his adolescence, listening to the great masters of Funk, Jazz , Blues and Soul. At this time he started his first gigs playing as a bass player. Years later, he became a regular visitor to all the small bars in town, (called ¨Boteco¨ in Portuguese) in which, groups of Samba and Choro played songs of Cartola, Pixinguinha, Noel Rosa and other great names of Brazilian Popular Music. Soon after, he discovered the songs and the magic of João Gilberto. He has played in many different kinds of bands in Santos and São Paulo since 1999 as a bassist and guitarist. He has lived in Japan since 2005. In 2008 he started the project¨Bossa Nova Voz & Violão¨ to bring the values and the feelings of brazilian rhythms to the Japanese public.
