andre galiano

"Acoustic Boulevard" is Galiano's 6th album and it honours the journey of music itself. It starts with only one instrument on song 1, other than his voice, and gradually adds more instruments up to song 12, featuring 12 instruments.

As seen in all his work, "Acoustic Boulevard" is a concept album that invites us to enjoy music as a simple story, told by characters disguised as guitars, drums, banjos or keyboards. Through their different voices can be heard the reflections, struggles and dreams of a generation, envisioned by Galiano's elaborate storytelling.
