Angelo Mannarelli was born in 1955, in Italy, in a little village named Montenero. He introduced the blues in the country in the end of the 60's. He moved in France in his childhood with his parents and brother and sisters, but came back to the mother country, when he was still a teen-ager, and tried there to live by his music. After a while, he returned in France to study music in the University of Strasbourg.

1982-1994 : The "Blue Lagoon" with electric guitar, bass guitar and drum and in 1990, brass were added to play rythm and blues. This band did many tours in Paris, in the eastern France and in Germany.
I actually mostly play live, in piano bars and festivals, where the sensations are obviously stronger and where I can have a contact with the public.
