  • Bio

    Danilo Cartia is one of the few self-made banjo players (5 strings banjo) in Italy. He is also an acoustic (flat-picking and finger picking style) and electric (blues ,country blues) guitar player as well as an arranger, composer, vocalist and teacher (guitar and 5 strings banjo). He discovered guitar at the age of 6.At the end of the 70s he was devoted to the traditional American music as guitar and banjo player and vocalist in many bands. Giancarlo Cesaroni's "Folkstudio", memorable club and cradle of traditional and ethnic music, helped him start his musical career. Many trips to the USA allowed him to become aquainted with many american musicians and to improve his style and repertory. In the early 80s, he was one of the first to introduce bluegrass music in Italy. He now performs with many bands, combining different tastes styles and musical emotions: Danilo Cartia Band (bluegrass, blues, rockgrass), BJG Roots Music (bluegrass,jazz,gospel), Blue Frets (country, blues, ballads)and he is frequently a special guest in many other bands sessions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Danilo Cartia è uno dei pochi banjoisti self-made sul territorio italiano (banjo 5 corde) e chitarrista sia acustico (negli stili flat-picking e finger-picking) che elettrico (blues e country-blues), ed è compositore, arrangiatore, voce solista e insegnante (chitarra e banjo 5 corde). Scopre la chitarra intorno a sei anni, e alla fine degli anni Settanta, come chitarrista, banjoista e voce solista in diversi gruppi, si dedica alla musica tradizionale americana. Il “Folkstudio” di Giancarlo Cesaroni, locale storico e culla della musica tradizionale ed etnica, gli offre un trampolino di lancio nella sua carriera di musicista. Numerosi viaggi negli Stati Uniti gli permettono di entrare in contatto con musicisti americani e di perfezionarsi nello stile e nel repertorio. All’inizio degli anni Ottanta è tra i primi a introdurre la musica bluegrass in Italia. Si esibisce oggi regolarmente con vari gruppi, combinando gusti e sensibilità musicali diverse: Danilo Cartia Band (bluegrass, blues, rockgrass), BJG Roots Music (bluegrass,jazz,gospel), Blue Frets (country, blues, ballads) e frequentemente partecipa a sessioni come ospite di altri gruppi.
