Fabiano do Nascimento is a Rio de Janeiro–born guitarist, composer, arranger, and producer based between Los Angeles and Tokyo, known for his intricate multi-string guitar work and expansive, genre-defying sound. Rooted in Brazilian traditions such as Afro-samba and choro, his music seamlessly weaves elements of American jazz, experimental, and ambient electronics into a singular, deeply expressive sonic language.
Described by NPR Music as “seraphic… hypnotic and transcendent,” Fabiano has built a reputation as both a virtuosic performer and a forward-thinking composer. His musical lineage traces back to his great-grandfather, Ladario Teixeira, a blind saxophone virtuoso, and was further shaped by early studies in classical piano and formative mentorship under his uncle, bassist and arranger Lucio Nascimento.
Since relocating to Los Angeles in 2001, Fabiano has become a sought-after collaborator, working with artists such as Airto Moreira, Arthur Verocai, Sam Gendel, Beirut, Aloe Blacc, Mitski, Daniel Santiago, Itiberê Zwarg, and Vittor Santos, among others.
In 2005, he co-founded the acclaimed Latin jazz group Triorganico, before launching a prolific solo career spanning Sixteen full-length albums released on labels including Now-Again Records, Far Out Recordings, Leaving Records, Music from Memory and Real World Records. His work has reached international audiences through major platforms, including a celebrated appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.
Across collaborations and solo work alike, Fabiano continues to expand the boundaries of Brazilian music, merging tradition with a constantly evolving, deeply personal sonic vision.
