Brazilian guitarist Emerson Caruso started his musical path in the late 80s, playing rock’n’roll with several bands in Rio Grande do Sul. The most important of those was Júpiter Maçã with which he recorded the cd “A Sétima Efervescência” in 1996. His first contact with the blues was in 1994, while playing with the band “The Single Daddies”. After that he worked as a roadie for Solon Fishbone y Los Cobras. Under the influence of the bluesman’s music he turned himself completely to the blues. In 1997, in Curitiba, he played with the band “The Blues Drivers” In 2001 he started the band “Blues del Fuego”, which was one of the attractions of Natu Blues Festival 2004.

In 2007 the group was one of the attractions of the “FYNS MC Festival” in Odense, Denmark. Back to Brazil, in 2008 Emerson Caruso started a new acoustic project, focusing on blues’ roots, playing acoustic guitar and exploring Delta Blues techniques such as fingerpicking and slide guitar. With this project he played in Curitiba BluesJazz festival 2008.
