Salsa Band @ Yaffo
Sabroso and Elegant |
Fernando Knopf was born in Argentina. The well known Composer and Performer immigrated to Israel in 1996. Although he is an Israeli Citizen, he considers himself to be a worldly citizen. His amusement has captivated souls from different corners of the world. His music proposal & awareness has satisfied the most demanding audiences and has convinced the most selective ears with his sophisticated and ‘sabroso’ rhythm.
At the age of fourteen, he already studied the piano, bass, and music theories. Later, Knopf moved to Tel-Aviv, a city that received him with open arms. He studied at ‘Rimon and Barkley (Boston)’, where he received scholarships and graduated as a Compositor and Jazz Performer. Until 2004, the year when he featured his own band, Fernando played with well known local musicians from Israel and other great musicians from around the world.
As the director of “The Israel Salsa Band”, is considered an icon in today’s modern Israeli music culture and has performed at several festivals where he has been well recognized in the Israeli public eye. In 2006, he introduced his first release to the market – qualified & marked as a revelation by the locals. Battling with the big figures of Latin Jazz, made it tough yet inspiring. Fernando Knopf reached amongst the first top-ten spots, playing throughout various Latin radios in the US and Europe, such as Dimension Latina Radio in Chicago.
Fernando Knopf is the Representative of both Latin music in Israel and Israeli salsa in Latin America. By adding passion and meaning to each notes and silences, the Argentinean-Israeli Composer and Performer lives to be on stage, and offers unbridled virtuosity and a lot of ‘sabor’.
