Born and raised in Portugal, Manel Ferreira mixes musical styles asmixes musical styles as diverse as the places he has traveled- with his backpack and guitar by his side, he’s seen the jungles of Guatemala and the peaks of Guatemala and the peaks of the Himalayas. He stores his memories in musical format- with instrumental pieces, with Flamenco, Fado and Brazilian influences, or in songs that immediately send us to the place where they were created. At home, he’s walking a path just as exciting - he was one of the winners of the ‘European Guitar Award 2021’ and has played in places ranging from South Africa to Russia and all over Europe.
“Vento Ibérico is a collection of two years of life experiences- solo travels around the world - and of musical influences- from the flamenco guitars of Paco Lucia and Vicente Amigo to the masterful compositions of Astor Piazzolla and Tom Jobim.” Manel Ferreira
