Baltazar Montanaro

Baltazar Montanaro is a musician known for his profound command of the violin, lending his music a distinct voice within the world of folk and world music. Born into a musical family, Baltazar was nurtured in an environment rich with diverse musical traditions; his father is a luthier and his mother a violinist. This background instilled in him a deep understanding and respect for the musical craft from an early age. Throughout his career, Baltazar has pursued a path that marries traditional folk music with contemporary sensibilities, crafting sounds that are both fresh and deeply rooted in musical heritage.

Montanaro's collaborative spirit is evident in projects such as "Sophie Cavez & Baltazar Montanaro," where he partnered with the Belgian accordionist Sophie Cavez, creating an evocative dialogue between accordion and violin. His body of work, including noted releases like "La traversée" and "BE," showcases a journey through various soundscapes and emotions, with each album painting a rich auditory picture. Not simply a musician but also a storyteller, Baltazar's compositions unfold like chapters of an unwritten global narrative, weaving the old and the new into a tapestry of audible innovation. His 7ème Monde / Rwiza / Flor Vermelha project underscores his commitment to exploring and evolving the language of folk music for modern audiences.
