Wagner Tiso, born on December 12, 1945, in Três Pontas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, is an esteemed Brazilian pianist, arranger, and composer, widely recognized for his significant contributions to the landscape of Brazilian music. His mastery of his craft has enriched the Brazilian music scene with a blend of classical sensibilities and a deep understanding of Brazilian jazz and popular music.

Tiso's journey in music began with classical training, but it was his collaboration with prominent Brazilian artists like Milton Nascimento that solidified his place in the annals of Brazilian music history. His work, often marked by lyrical melodies and rich harmonies, has been instrumental in the development of the Clube da Esquina movement, which combines various musical styles such as bossa nova, jazz, and rock with regional folk music. Over the years, Tiso's versatility as a musician has been showcased across a range of projects, as seen in his recent releases, including the cinematic "Outras canções de cinema" and "Os Desafinados," and the cultural tapestry woven in "Brazilian Scenes," which features collaborations with international artists such as Salif Keita and Paulo Moura. His live performance album, "The Finland Concert (Ao Vivo)," captures the dynamism of his stage presence, while releases like "Memorial" and "Cenas Brasileiras" celebrate the richness of Brazilian musical tradition through his sophisticated compositions and arrangements.
