Adrian Raso

Details

A musician whose playing is as stylish and distinctive as the well-cut suits he wears, Adrian Raso is a Canadian original.

His latest album, The Devil Rides Again is a collaboration with Romanian Roma brass band Fanfare Ciocărlia, which topped the European World Music charts and demonstrated his gift for composing and playing with musicians from different cultures.

A virtuoso string musician who refuses to rely on his technique, Adrian Raso undertakes adventures in sound. His unique style finds him blending jazz and rockabilly, Latin grooves and Balkan brass, Italian folk and funk, country and classical, soul and surf, always emphasising melody, lyricism and dynamic rhythms.
