Silvio Canargiu was born on july 22th 1974 in Cagliari Italy and grew up in San Gavino M.le. Originally intending to become a singer-guitarist, he soon realised that the place he lived in could never help him on his intent. That's why, after his irregular studies, he decided to move to somewhere else place.

In 1994 he went to Sanremo for a pop festival with Nicola Marogna then he played for a long time with Stefano Puddu in France recording a couple of albums for local labels (would be nice to find a copy of Zamballarana with Jerome Casalonga 15 elements ensemble).

Back to Italy in 2000 he started playin' with Sergio Bevilacqua and many other musicians around the "north-east" scene 'till he get a contract for a nice hotel in Mexico, than a different contract for Grimaldi Cruise Ships and another one with Maldives as destination.
