Биография

Fernando Noronha is one of Brazil's most electrifying blues guitar icons. Establishing his career over 25 years ago, Fernando has been a fixture in the global folk and blues scene. Since 1995, Fernando has been headlining with his all-Brazilian band, Fernando Noronha & Black Soul, in every major Blues and Jazz festival worldwide. Fernando Noronha & Black Soul have defined their own Southern "Soul" music combining North-American roots rock and blues influences with their native Brazilian beat. Although hailing from the Gaucha capital of Porto Alegre, Fernando has always identified musically with Texas Blues differentiating from popular Brazilian music. He has backed up and worked closely with Greats such as B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Buddy Guy, Chris Duarte (who produced two albums for Fernando), Ron Levy and many more. Through the very definition of blues, combining African rhythms with European compositions, this Brazilian Blues band re-invents the genre while taking their loyal public to new heights.
