Born in the middle of the fifties (1955) Robi Zonca grew up listening to the Beatles, Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan. Then the Brithis Blues arrived in italian music stores with John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor and Robi falled in love with the Blues. After that discovering the black masters of the blues was a real big flash for Robi. Listening to Robi's music you can hear all of the influences that inspire his compositions and his guitar and bass playing and his singing. After several long years of sideman work with many band and musicians like Andy J. Forest, Ginger Baker, Ronnie Jones, Mia Martini, Treves Blues Band and many more RZ started his solo career publishing 5 albums in in the last 7 years. Talking about his last 2 albums:"REBEL!" was recorded during 2006 in NY with the devoted dedication, commitment, and outstanding contribution of many gifted musicians from both the U.S.A. and Italy, including world renowned musicians like the legendary drummer Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, the Vivino Brothers and Big Luther Kent. His music is now well known in the USA where more than 250 radio stations air his music in high rotation. Most recently (march 2010), we have “SO GOOD” Robi’s current work. This CD is a crossover between blues, jazz and rock. Luther Kent is featured on the CD singing on one of the tracks….and you can listen to Fabrizio Bosso, number 1 trumpet player in Italy.
