London based - born and raised in Caracas - Venezuela, Baldo Verdú grew up in a family of folkloric and classical musicians. First, approaching music through percussion, which allowed him to explore the richness of Afro-Venezuelan rhythms and the roots and traditions of his people. Then the guitar; the instrument that has connected that heritage with more universally known musical styles such as Soul, Pop, Funk, electronic. His music is denoted by contrasts, in a sound he has made his own, encompassing the pain of self-exile as well as the pleasures of discovering new cultural and artistic perspectives. Baldo Verdú fuses soulful pop melodies with Afro Latin drums, creating an impossible-to-ignore unique blend of upbeat rhythms.
