ANGELO NOCE SANTORO is a guitarist with over forty-seven years of musical experience,. He has amassed an impressive body of work throughout his career. ANGELO NOCE SANTORO's rise to a professional level began in 1968 with the formation of Psychedelic/Progressive European group THE FLOATING FUDGE FEATURING THE COSMIC DEALER. The band name was later shortened to COSMIC DEALER in time for the release of their debut singles. Soon after, their first and only album, 'Crystallization', was released, featuring music offered up in a Hard Rock style defining the counter culture of the early 1970s. Although the music didn't achieve the success hoped for by COSMIC DEALER, they were a regular touring act and scored a television performance. The fate of the group, however, was to fade into the misty annals of the music world. With the passing of the group's vocalist/guitarist and the departure of ANGELO SANTORO, the band's days were numbered. For a short time, ANGELO SANTORO returned to a new COSMIC DEALER line up to help record demo tracks. In 1973, COSMIC DEALER parted company. 'Crystallization' has enjoyed cult status. Music collectors specializing in European Psychedelic Rock value the album at between $300 and $750. A pretty nice compliment by anyone's standards! ANGELO SANTORO's next project was the first Brazilian band in Holland, PALMEIRA. Much like the previous band, there was one release, 'Palmeira', and a seeming destiny toward ANGELO SANTORO only appearing on treasured future collector's items. However, in 1979, ANGELO SANTORO embarked on an extensive solo career, releasing eight albums beginning with 'For You', music flavored with Latin Fusion. For his second release, 'Land Of The Pharao', ANGELO SANTORO returned to his Surf Guitar Instrumental roots while retaining a Psychedelic edge. ANGELO SANTORO also played in THE NOBEL BAND for eleven years and spent two years in AFRODISIA. And from 1995/2010 with ORIENTAL GUITARS.
