The Italian magazine Chitarre use the following words to describe Rogério Dentello's work: "for those who love the Latin-American guitar, and for those who look for a rapport between complexity and musicality, we recommend to listen to this young Brazilian guitarist and composer. Rogério Dentello, graduated in classic guitar in São Paulo and former pupil of some of the best Brazilian musicians, (...) shows a remarkable quality on composition, a mature ability to select repertory and of synthesis of different musical experiences, as well as a expert execution technique. His closeness with his instrument is that characteristic of several Brazilian guitarists that—even as professionals of outstanding technique — pursue tranquility, sound purity and expressiveness rather than the tension of virtuosity. (...) It is particularly noticing the ability of Dentello to create a spontaneous and pleasant music as well he shows a straight musical culture. (...) Good attributes, therefore, for a guitarist that we certainly will hear about."
Now-a-days Rogério Dentello lives in Brazil. He is married, and has 2 children. |
