Canvas Blanco has set out to discover and wants to take you along on a road less traveled; the scenic route! With curiousity and craftsmanship at the heart the band has set out to explore music with a child like enthusiasm.
In 2015 their debut “Call Me Lucky Fat Or Skinny” saw the daylight; a mostly acoustic and Americana infused album with lush and playful arrangements. Like a soundtrack of a journey in which wanderlust and playful imagination join forces. It didn’t take long before the term “Europicana” came along to characterise this musical endeavour.

The far and unknown kept on calling and after plotting a new course it finally resulted in a new album called “Exilio”. It’s a futuristic story about Sam Towyer who discovers that he is a slight deviation of what was supposed to be a perfect clone. Sam is trying to find a way out of this straitjacket of digital feasibility and gets into trouble for being a little too curious.. The album is a divers collection of songs about safety, love and dialogues about freedom and technology, but also about the fear of losing grip on reality (whatever that is inside this story..)

Canvas Blanco has not outgrown the child-like playfulness, yet still delivers a mature ode with this album to the great sci-fi genre. The band took inspiration from the many books, movies and music created over the last couple of decades. What followed was a joint writing process in which the band tried to create as much space for playful imagination as possible. Enter Exilio! This new album will see daylight on the 8th  of April 2019.

Hamid was born in Iran and from a young age on interested in Persian music. He started as his first instrument with Classical Guitar, however after hearing Robert Johnson’s guitar and Sonny Boy’s Harmonica he found his favorite sound! He has several experiences with playing and recording with some different bands in his home country Iran. 
His album "Dialogue" (2010) is his first solo experience in acoustic instrumental Blues. Characteristic of this album is to play traditional Iranian sound system for the first time with slide Guitar and Blues Harmonica.

Since 2011 he immigrated to the Netherlands and started to play with different bands in Blues style, and crossover music. His duo Hills & Hamid is a unique combination of American folk blues and Persian folk music. Their EP’s were released on Spotify in 2019. Because of his love for slide guitar and his curiosity to discover new music styles he started to study Indian music on slide guitar at the Rotterdam conservatory. You will hear this power of the combination of Persian, blues and Indian music in all of his arrangements on slide guitar and harmonica. Hamid is currently involved in several bands and projects, combining different styles of music like Irish, Indian, Blues and Persian music. He loves to experience how these different styles and genres from all the parts of the globe fuse together and make a new unique sound.
