João Balão
I've been working for nearly 40 years in different branches and genres in music. Very early I felt at ease with very different music genres, and always looked with fascination and curiosity for musical diversity. Very naturally, I assimilated the different genres I played. I explain multi-instrumentality as an opportunity to have a wider vision.I played popular music from Portugal, Brazil, Morocco, Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Balkan, Flamenco, Rock, Jazz, Pop and Fado. I collaborated in the recording of over 40 records and produced 10, in Portugal, Spain, France, Chile and Argentina. I also composed music for video, theatre, advertising, dance, short-films and documentaries.
