Biography

Renato Borghetti, born on July 23, 1963, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, is a Brazilian folk musician and accordionist known for his contributions to traditional gaÃºcho music, samba, and world music. He began playing the diatonic accordion, or "gaita ponto," at ten, debuting professionally at sixteen in traditional centers and folk festivals. Borghetti's breakthrough came with his debut album Gaita Ponto (1984), which sold over one hundred thousand copies within three weeks, earning him a gold record. Notable tracks include "Milonga para as missÃµes" by Gilberto Monteiro and "Minuano" by Sadi Cabral. He collaborated with artists like Luiz Gonzaga and Stephane Grapelli, and performed at the Free Jazz Festival of SÃ£o Paulo. In 1994, Prestige Records released his LP Accordionist (1994), featuring a version of "Bachianas brasileiras nÂº 5" by Heitor Villa-Lobos. Borghetti received the Ordem do MÃ©rito Cultural in 2002 and was nominated for Latin Grammys in 2005 and 2008 for his albums Gaitapontocom (2005) and Fandango! (2007).
