Place of birth: Federal Capital, Argentina.Family: Mother: Silvia Luro Dad: Gabriel cantiloWeb: http: //www.fabiana-cantilo.com/Biography:On March 3, 1959, Fabiana Cantilo was born in the Federal Capital of the Argentine Republic.
His talent began to show, incredibly from the age of two, becoming the center of family gatherings. Later, he began to express himself artistically: drawing, sculpting, painting, dancing and singing, which he took as more than a game. Then, at age 8, he added guitar to his studies. At the end of high school, without hesitation Fabiana joined Fine Arts. Soon after, when he left his studies, he decided to go to Buenos Aires to find his destiny, playing in some pubs until he had the opportunity to study music in Pennsylvania, where he obtained a scholarship for two years, but in two months he returned.
Back in Buenos Aires, he began to sing at the Viejo Café, with a repertoire that included songs from “And it is”, “Genesis”, “Beatles” Y “Sui Generis” among others. and at the same time put his voice in “Sweater”, next to that of Claudia Puyó in the group of Miguel Sabaleta. It was here at this moment that he met Cachorro López, Andrés Calamaro and Daniel Melingo who would be his traveling companions in the following years.
In the ’80s the new Fabiana began to shine, which stood out among the artists of those times, and soon after it began to become known through the “Bay-Biscuits”, a group of rock-theatrical that participated in shows of first level musicians.
Later Cantilo was summoned by Pipo “Latex” Cipolatti to be the vocalist of “The Twists”. From triumph to triumph in 1983, Charly García invited her to his presentations of “Modern Clicks” and, from here on, she is totally linked as a stable chorister, complementing her facet as a composer with the theme “You can always forget”, included in the disc “Cheap philosophy and rubber shoes” in 1990.
In 1985 Cantilo participates in several presentations by Fito Páez and as the main action he publishes his first solo album, “Detectives”, accompanied by Richard Coleman, Oscar Mediavilla and Gustavo Bazterrica, Rinaldo Rafanelli, Daniel Melingo and Fernando Samalea, Oscar Moro and Polo Corbella. “Detectives” He had the luxury of being presented with Fito Páez’s band, until he put together his own support group, “The Hot Dogs”, with Gabriel Carámbula in 1988.
In the new decade of the ’90s he participated in “My Buenos Aires Rock”, a concert that brought together one hundred thousand people on July 9, which he shared with Charly García, Luis Alberto Spinetta and La Portuaria. Fabiana continued her career as a guest vocalist at the García, Los Twist and Páez shows and as the opening act for Roxette at Velez, until she recorded her third album, “Something better” in 1993, with songs composed mostly by Fito Páez, of which stand out “Mary Poppins and the Skinner”, the homonymous theme and, above all, “My sickness”by Andrés Calamaro.
The following year, Fabiana Cantilo toured her native country presenting “Vacuum blows”, an album with its own songs that did not have much impact. Then, in the first months of 1995, he performed at the International Song Festival in Mar del Plata, along with Charly García and the Brazilian group Paralamas, among others.
“Sun in 5”, was produced by Pedro Aznar with guests such as Fito Páez, Gabriel Carámbula, David Lebón and Claudia Puyó.
In 2002, after four years without new material, he presented “Celestial Information”, an album of her own and semi-autobiographical songs, which was satisfactorily accepted by the public that followed her at that time.
After an impasse in which he did not find the inspiration to edit records, but to rest until the moment he finds his muse again. Fabiana moves from her role as an author to honor her teachers and classmates with a new work called “Collective Unconscious”, which contains twelve themes that people chose from thirty selected. In January and February 2006, Fabiana has devoted herself to an intense tour in the Argentine Republic and Uruguay. In this same year, he toured Spain to present his great classics and the songs that he includes “Unconscious Collective” his most recent musical production. Discography
