Beppe Gambetta Italy
An inspired guitarist with a winning smile.
“(an) acoustic-guitar-flatpicking monster (who possesses) superhuman grace on the instrument.” — Pulse Magazine
It is the smile that is the key for reading the musical universe of Beppe Gambetta. An open and disarming smile that is also the contagious and irresistible smile of a person who invites you to a musical journey with light heart and curiosity. The destination, as for any traveller, is not totally defined because it is beautiful, at the very last; to find ourselves where we never would expect to be.
With the horizon’s line as a challenge and attraction, Beppe is continually composing his personal mosaic of sounds and flavors. From his unique roots developing as an Italian musician in love with both American country and bluegrass as well as the music of his native country, Beppe has travelled the world and even crossed the “Iron Curtain” to dazzle and charm music enthusiasts everywhere. After ten CDs, four DVDs, four teaching books, and collaborations with many other top-flight musicians, Gambetta is increasingly known as one of the true live master innovators of the acoustic guitar.
