| Member Since | 4/17/2006 | | Band Website | people.tribe.net/azulsalvaje | | Band Members | The Long Strange Trip of Azul Salvaje
Raised in Vermont in the Green Mountain Range, Northern Appalachains.
Segue to the late 60’s in Northern California Where Azul first experienced Electric Violin (insert Psychedelic Celestial Choir loop). Now located in a rural studio on Vancouver Island North of Victoria.BC.Ca or out on the road touring. Azul studied Visual Arts from very young thru his twenties when he abruptly altered his artistic path by focusing on an entirely new direction and choice of creative medium, music. Azul plays anywhere, anyplace, anytime from cafes to Multi-Media & Tribal Fusion Dance event/chill flows, festivals and Live Pa Freestyle Improv collaborations... | | Influences | Fiddle: Clark Kessinger, Ned Landry, Jean Carrignan, Rufus Guinchard, Lonnie Johnson, Gatemouth Brown, Stuff Smith, Sugarcane Harris, Canray Fontenot, Juan Reynoso, Yehudi Menuhin, Abdu Dagher... | | Sounds Like | Deaf Whitey Hokum

| About Azul Salvaje |
Azul Salvaje Music:
Azul began performing live the summer of 1972 starting on street corners, coffee houses and cafés back in the day as they say. Azul has played in endless bands anywhere from slime pit bucket of blood bars, roadhouse and pubs, to soft seater concert halls, stampedes, festivals and back again to Busking on the street, cafe's and coffee houses. Folk Roots (Traditional of all types & original), Celtic, Bluegrass, Classic Country, Alt-Country, Blues, Latin (Mexican Boleros and Rumba), Brazilian (Bossa Nova and Jazz Samba), Experimental Improv and Electronica. In his late thirties Azul began to study applied theory and New Orleans/Memphis (Stax Volt R & B strings), Trios Romanticos (Mexican Bolero), North African (primarily Egyptian), Bossa Nova and Samba string section lines developing a personal composition, playing style and sound, melding and coalescing the experience and genres he had fiddled down through the years. Azul has always played Electronic Fiddle right from the get go, experimenting with any and all pick ups, amplification or effects available without regard to whatever original purpose they were intended. Azul’s enduring interest in exploring and playing with sound and rhythm by any and all means electronic imbues his ongoing adventures fusing and remixing the myriad ever evolving galaxies of Electronica with his Electro-Acoustic skills…Currently Azul is engaged with the functional structures of Tribal Fusion Dance, Brazilectro: Nu-Bossa/Jazz Sambalectro, Ethereal Psybient and Celtronica, as well as continuing his perennial interest in interactive Live Pa Electronics, Improvisation and the functional dynamics of creativity…
