Facio – a musical globetrotter
Facio is a musician, German-born with Italian roots. He is a singer / songwriter & composer and writes music for Spanish Guitar. Facio’s songs and instrumental pieces are a unique mix of Acoustic Reggae, Latin, World Music, Pop and Mediterranean Guitar. The artist’s name is pronounced Italian and sounds like “Fatcho” [faʤo].
Facio is a musical globetrotter inspired by the Mediterranean atmosphere: “I love to write my music on travel, be it “Non Parlo Italiano”, “Je Suis Triste”, “La Perla“ or “Strada Do Sul“. Facio’s acoustic music style is a novelty.
His charming Summerhit “Kalimera Maria” was played on several radio stations in London and Greece (2015). Further more Emirates Airline is playing Facio’s song “Agapi Mou – from London to Corfu” on its Inflight radio channels (2016). Facio performed “Kalimera Maria” at Balcony TV in Chamonix (France).
