José Pino
Guitar
Zurich-based guitarist, composer and arranger José Pino started off as a young singer and guitarist in Quito, Ecuador, later mastering wind and percussion instruments and specialising in Brazilian jazz guitar. He pursued higher education in Computer Music, Music Theory and Composition at the Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK. José Pino’s music is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of African American and Latin American music, while it pushes the boundaries of electronic and electroacoustic music. The influence of his diverse experiences, including his time spent living in vibrant cultural hubs like Hong Kong and Shanghai, left an indelible mark on his artistic vision. José has earned international acclaim for his innovative compositions, which have been performed at prestigious venues worldwide, and his latest work combines the rhythmic depth of African American and Latin American music with the improvisational spirit of jazz.
