Composer, guitarist In a thirty-year career as composer and guitarist, Pino released eleven cd as a leader (seven of which in solo, and also included in several CD compilations); performed hundreds of concerts in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan; collected dozens of interviews on the most renowned music magazines, websites, as well as radio and TV special appearances. Curious, restless experimenter, lover of all great music (from baroque to rock), generous on stage and introverted in the living room, art consumer, today the ex-classical 6 and 10 string guitarist Pino Forastiere is still walking on the path of innovation, performing and recording with a custom 19-steel string (“LAB Guitar”). In the Italian language, ‘Forastiere’ means foreigner, stranger.
