  • Bio

    With more than 40,000 fans around the world, Flavio Sala is considered the new star of the classical guitar, acclaimed by critics and audiences worldwide for his incredible instrumental technique, combined with extraordinary sensitivity and musical creativity. Continuing to promote his sixth album "Flavio Sala Plays Pop", an album containing twelve of the most beautiful and famous melodies of international rock and pop repertoire, from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson, from Eric Clapton to Carlos Santana, Celine Dion, The Beatles…This project has benefited the precious collaboration of Antonello Capuano, who arranged the songs for solo guitar. The interpretive imagination and virtuosity, the delicacy and expressiveness of the Flavio's guitar, make this album one of the most original in the world. Flavio Sala is an eclectic artist. Classical training, even child discovers the flamenco music and later, jazz, Latin jazz and finally rock and pop. His curiosity and eclecticism are well represented in the album "De La Buena Onda" (2010), recorded during 8 months, in Rome, Milan, Florence, Madrid and Cluj (Romania), where he supports with his guitar the voice of the Italian pop singer Mango (who later includes the same song by Carlos Gardel on his own album "La terra degli Aquiloni", Sony, 2011) and joins other international musicians, such as Marcus Miller, Toninho Horta, Jorge Pardo and Cliff Almond, the quintet that plays the Samba that gives the name to the album. Flavio, for the first time, recorded his voice, singing "Malafemmina", in duo with Alain Perez, in a poignant version in bolero style, enriched by the cajon of Israel Suarez "El Piranha". But the list goes on: Giovanni Baglioni, Otmar Ruiz, Alex Acuna, Carles Benavent, Rubem Dantas, Daniel Binelli.... He has toured and given hundreds of concerts and master classes in Europe, America and Asia, playing in prestigious theaters and concert halls, including the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and Gnessins Hall in Moscow, "Leopold Auer" Concert Hall of University of Indiana ( USA), Palermo Politeama Theatre, the Theatre of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Bonci Theatre in Cesena (Italy), "Alirio Díaz" Theatre in Venezuela, the Concert Hall of the Vienna Conservatory, the Great Theatre of Belo Horizonte (Brazil), the Sala Regia of Venice Palace in Rome, etc ...
