Vasco Fae bought his first harmonica in 1987, when he was 16, all by sudden. He started to dedicate himself to the instrument and with the diatonic harmonica and a velvet voice, has been achieving respect and attention from a great audience and harmonica players all over the country. On Brazilian television, Vasco has already showed up in some programs such as: Musikaos (Cultura), Bem Brasil (Cultura), Altas Horas (Globo), Fábio Jr. (Record) and Video Show (Globo). In 2007 he releases his second CD “Manoblues” preceded by “Saudacoes (2003)”. From 1992 until 2009 he has made over 1.550 shows in Brazilian Blues circuit.
Formed in 1993, “Irmandade do Blues” is his “home-band” and released the first CD of a Brazilian Blues quartet (Veneno) in 1996 by Eldorado Records, witch released the second CD (Good Feelings) in 2007 by Eldorado Records as well, and the DVD and CD “Ao Vivo (Live)” in 2009 by Universal Music. Irmandade do Blues has the same members since 1995 so that is the oldest formation in Brazil. From 2003 to 2005 he joined the band Blues Etilicos as one of the singers, harmonica players and composers where he recorded the CD “Cor do Universo”. Played with Kleber Albuquerque during 2001. In 2002 he joined the band Andreas Kisser and Brazil Rock Stars, where he still plays, sings and recorded the CDs “AKBRS – 50 years of rock” and “Hubris”, he also could share stage with Caetano Veloso, Herbert Viana, Lobao, Simone, Samuel Rosa, Dinho Ouro Preto, Frejat, Bocato, Pitty, Nando Reis, and others.
In Brazil Vasco Fae is considered as a great brazilian harmonica player and singer. “The Band man” as he was nicked by Jazz’n Blues magazine, is known as well by his notorious motor coordination technique of playing harmonica and guitar at the same time, and sometimes even with a bumbo – he’s the first one to seriously dedicate its self on developing this technique in Brazil – besides, Vasco Fae composes, sings, produces, plays almost every instrument he gets in his hands. He also plays with the band Triangulista that plays brazilian music, idealized in 1997 “Blueseiros do Brasil”, that already counts on two CDs released containing the best of Brazilian Blues musicians in jam sessions recorded in studio.
He also recorded many CDs with different artists, gave harmonica workshops at SESC net and showed up in the International Harmonica Meeting in Sao Paulo in 2003
