Video in Spanish. Simply Salsa TV was proud to attend the acoustic set and interview such a legend. Yordano, born Giordano Di Marzo Migani, is a Grammy Nominated, Italian–born Venezuelan singer-songwriter and guitar player. Yordano moved with his parents to Caracas at an early age (12) and was educated there. He graduated as an architect from Central University of Venezuela, where he participated in musical events and other endeavors. While attending the University, he became known as a prolific songwriter. Yordano lengthened his stride as he formed original bands to showcase his music.

 

But it was not until 1978 when Yordano decides to undertake a musical career, when he performed as vocalist and guitarist of the group Sietecuero with his brother the singer Evio di Marzo, which recorded an album in Puerto Rico. In 1982, he released his first solo album Negocios son Negocios on Polygram. Two years later, he followed with his second album, Yordano, which brought him some public recognition. He then moved to Sonográfica in 1986. His breakout year came in 1992, when his song Por estas calles (On These Streets), included in the album De Sol a Sol, was used as the opening theme for the telenovela with the same title.[3] It was broadcast by Radio Caracas Televisión through 627 episodes between 1992 and 1994 and was extremely popular in Venezuela, due to its very realistic approach to the day-to-day life of the country and its local population.

 

As a result, De Sol a Sol topped the country and pop album charts for more than two years, which led Yordano to achieve celebrity status in his homeland. Overall, the telenovela Por estas calles was the first Venezuelan program to give a realistic and thorough description of the corruption in political life, as well as the first to show the day-to-day life in the poorest barrios. After that, Yordano released many albums and made guest appearances on records by some of Venezuela's top artists, including Ilan Chester and Simón Díaz. In between, Yordano toured Colombia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Miami, Panama, Puerto Rico, Spain and Texas.
