Biography

Dialeto is a Brazilian rock band formed in São Paulo in 1987. The group stands out for its sound rich in references, moving between progressive rock, post-punk, new wave, and art rock, with influences reminiscent of names like King Crimson, Frank Zappa, and Béla Bartók. The band is known for its experimental and instrumental compositions, exploring unique moods and sound textures.

The band's original lineup featured Nelson Coelho (guitar), Jorge Pescara (bass), and Miguel Angel (drums). Throughout its trajectory, Dialeto underwent several lineup changes, but maintained the essence of its music. In different phases, they collaborated with musicians such as David Cross, former member of King Crimson, further enriching the group's work.

With a discography that includes albums like "Dialect" (1991), "Will Exist Forever" (2006), "Chromatic Freedom" (2010), and "The Last Tribe" (2013), Dialeto has gained recognition both in Brazil and internationally. The band demonstrates a strong connection with classical music, as evidenced in the album "Bartók in Rock", where they adapt compositions by Béla Bartók to the universe of progressive rock.
