Artist description Composer and guitarist who shrinks from everything can produce barriers and distinctions. The research of a personal sound, the journeys in various countries of the world and his innate eclecticism, spur him to create original music which synthesizes tensions and trends of today's world. In his music you can perceive an harmonic coexistence of Indian, African and South American music, jazz, electronic and contemporary music.

Press Reviews "...Three years after his eclectic and gripping project "Urbino", Paolo Giaro, guitarist and composer from Pesaro, comes back to a kind of universal classicality with the chiaroscuro notes of "I VU DI", a sound way played on primordial emotions. The roads of Africa and India today seem to leave (but only apparently) in favour of an inner way in which the "vision" has a determinant role. In Paolo Giaro's musical play, medleys produced by imagination and background, tantric and sufic echoes of a never too far Orient, washings of sea waves, reverberations of ancestral drums filtered by the most modern electronic and even a modern pop song poetics form as "Fuori di queste mura", arise with a strong emotive impact." Paolo De Bernardin (Musica di Repubblica) "Italy's Paolo Giaro is certainly a composer of talent. His music merges a number of styles, from new age, to classical, to world music, to folk. On "I VU DI", his third album, Giaro plays acoustic, classical, 9-string, and Indian guitars, as well as contributing vocals, whistle, keyboards, loops, and something called a moka. Other players flesh out the sound with sax, bass, grand piano, and soundscapes. The 9 compositions on the CD encompass a variety of approaches." Jeff Fitzgerald (www.aural-innovation.com)
