GuitarBo’, nick name for Alberto Toffoli, was born in the province of Venice.  At an early age he became impressed with the sounds and rhythms called blues.

Therefore, he started listening and playing this kind of music.
What fascinated him day after day, were those sounds and scents he had never seen or smelled before: they entered straight and fast into his life.
He started his journey as autodidact, until he knew an eclectic Venetian guitarist, Roberto Ortolan who,  session-man for well-known Italian singer-songwriters, introduced him to the powerful blues by the Texas born Stevie Ray Vaughan and BBKing. 
His style, little by little, got better and then he entered the “Lizard” school of modern and contemporary music, in Florence, where he studied for a couple of years.
GuitarBo’ grows thanks to the influences of the Chicago Blues, BB King, Mussy Waters, the funky sound of Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder, the soul of Ray Charles and Etta James, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and the rock of Hendrix, but also winking to jazz guitarists such as Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery and Grant Green.
In 2000 he played in Austin, Texas, where he could get in touch with the Blues’ greatest such Jimmy Vaughan and Alan Hayens and he could play in the club of the capital of music. 
Back in Italy, in 2001, he recorded his first Cd “Live in Darshan” that was self-produced with the typical sound of the “power trio”.
In the meanwhile, he played all over the Veneto region.
He won the “Emergenza Acoustic” contest in the Veneto region and he participated in the National final event.
The same year, he recorded his second cd “Movin’up” featuring new songs.
He played in Rome, Milan, Livorno, Florence, and Bologna.
He collaborated with the native-American singer-songwriter Yowan Nagwetch and he played in Belgium and The Neatherlands.
He collaborated and still works together with well-known Italian blues musicians such as Enrico Crivellaro (master of blues guitar) and Marco Pandolfi (Magic Harp).
Recently, in 2013, he moved for a while to Chicago, IL, in order to record some pure Chicago blues and to find the inspiration for a new cd.  The inspiration has come!!
2014-2015 will be a new season!
There is a new album coming out, featuring new songs and old feelings, 9 original soundtracks and 3 covers with a base of blues contaminated by soul, funk jazz and rock music.
Stay tuned!

Kumisolo started collaborating with Swedish tropical band Joe Davolaz by singing on their "Cha Cha André" EP. Attracted by their warm and authentic sound, she decided to meet them in Stockholm and record the arrangements for her second album "Kabuki Femme Fatale". By jamming together in Tropiska studios, a true alchemy soon operated between Kumi's bitter sweet pop compositions and the band's live vibrations. Listening to "Kabuki Femme Fatale", music lovers will probably tell their common fascination for timeless pop artists, such as Haruomi Hosono, Martin Denny, Françoise Hardy or the synthpop trio Antena. 
Like a psych-pop concept album rescued from a time capsule, "Kabuki Femme Fatale" brings you a kaleidoscopic reading on the modern woman with unique hypnotic sounds.
