Biography

A guitar virtuoso, Al di Meola (born in Jersey City, New Jersey, on July 22, 1954) has also made a name for himself through his many prestigious collaborations, from Chick Corea's group Return to Forever in 1974, to the trio formed with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia (1981), which saw him follow various musical currents, from jazz fusion to flamenco and Argentine tango. In 2013, he paid tribute to The Beatles' repertoire on the album All Your Life: A Tribute to the Beatles Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, and followed this up in 2020 with Across the Universe. Meanwhile, with a band featuring three keyboardists, he plays all the guitars on the album Elysium (2015), and in 2017 he signs a new world fusion album with Morocco Fantasia, recorded live in Rabat, Morocco. The following year saw the release of Opus, in the tradition of his jazz fusion productions of the 1970s, before a return to flamenco with Twentyfour (2024), featuring Spanish singer Siuxx as his only guest.
