He moved to London in 1983 where he initially busked on the streets of Covent Gardenand withintwo monthshad wonan awardwhich ledto a BBCTV appearanceand amajor Europeantour. Since thenhe has collaborated with many artists, touring the world and performing both solo and with other artists in duo, trio or quartet. He has performed and recorded with artists such as Andy Sheppard, Charlie Haden, John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, Martin Taylor, John Etheridge, Eduardo Niebla and Sarah-Jane Morris amongst others. Antonio is alsoacomposer;mostofthepiecesthatheperformsarehisown. His compositions draw on jazz, folk and popular music traditions from Europe,Africa and Latin America, interwovenwith classical,flamenco and Indian rhythms.
Be prepared for an eclectic range of songs, given the Forcione treatment, as he produces an amazing range of sounds from just one instrument, sounding like guitar, bass and percussion all in one. He fuses many traditions into his own unique style, and while he plays with great passionand intensity, betweensongs he chats with laconic humour. As he says, "If you know the words, and you want to sing along…. Don't."
"By turns lyrical, funky, ethereal, haunting, and playful, his one-man show is a delight, and his playing, simply breathtaking." - Tim Maguire, Edinburgh Festival
