Santos Chillemi was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on September 13th, 1950. At the conservatory, he studied the piano, as well as electronic music, harmony and composition, and soon began touring South America with various Latin-American groups.
Like his Sicilian forbearers, he sings Italy. Like his own past, he hums Spain. Like his youth, he fills his lungs with the Rolling Stones. His music can, as it suites him, incorporate Bartok, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, country folklore or Argentine tango...
