There are two groups scrobbling under the name Matteo at last.fm: 1. Matteo is the sum of four musicians' many years meandering through Chinese street markets and mountains. A hearty collection of Chinese traditional instruments were carried or shipped back across the pacific, including the centerpiece of Matteo's live performances: a 6 foot Chinese zither harp. The instruments have an incredibly unique and rich tone and timbre, but often traditional Chinese music is inaccessible to western audiences. Matteo keeps their roots in american indie-folk, while allowing the influence of the distinct instruments to saturate into the music. The result is a strangely beautiful acoustic blend that navigates over gimmick into a refreshing and genuine sound. 2. Matteo is a Lebanese classical artist with greek roots, he spent his childhood in beirtout. He loves classical music, his voice is a combination of smooth female voice and strong male voice. His music is considered as classic. He moved to France in 2004 and so he started his musical journey with Universal music , And went for a world tour in Europe to sing in concerts. The most successful concert held more than 1500 attenders plus 3 dancers on stage with him. He released 4 albums so far. He is working on the next release, it will be something different but close to the heart as usual. Influenced by mozart, franz joseph haydn, johann sebastian and other classical singers.
