Antonio Forcione is a master of his game, not only "one of the greatest guitarists" (The Guardian), but globally respected for his original compositions. Following the release of his 20th album, "Sketches of Africa," Antonio is now focusing on Cuba, where he is collaborating with artists such as Raul Torres, Pancho Amat, Pedro Luis Ferrer, Mario Salvador, and Alejandro Martinez for his next album, "Sketches of Cuba." This also includes his brand-new music-documentary film called "Trova," a 60-minute film that takes us on a journey through the vibrant, captivating world of Cuban Music, showcasing the lives of musicians and trovadores with unlimited passion for their art.

As one critic put it, "Imagine an Italian hybrid of Michael Hedges, John McLaughlin, and Django Reinhardt… ferocious, rampaging, controlled power, meticulous precision and clarity of expression… astonishing musical personality."

Giorgio Serci has performed internationally and recorded with the likes of Ivan Lins, Basia, Kenny Wheeler, Martin Taylor, Sylvain Luc, David Garrett, the LPO, BBC Concert Orchestra, Berlin Philarmonie, Julian Lloyd Webber, Franco Cerri, Paulo Fresu, to name but a few.
