Lari Basilio
Lari (Larissa) Basilio (born June 23, 1988) is a brazilian guitarist, songwriter and producer, considered by Guitar World Magazine "one of the most exciting names in instrumental rock".

She also has been described as one of today's most tasteful guitar virtuosos.

Lari started her musical journey as a guitarist playing in bands and churches in Brazil. In 2011, Lari started her solo career, working on her instrumental five-song Extended Play (EP), named, simply, Lari Basilio, which features Felipe Andreoli, bass player of Angra. The EP was produced by the five-time Latin Grammy winner Lampadinha.

Her second original record, the album and DVD “The Sound of My Room“, was released in August, 2015 and it was premiered at the iconic brazilian movie theater Cine Belas Artes in São Paulo. “The idea of taking instrumental guitar music to a movie theater proved (to be) a creative initiative (equal to) the compositions of Lari Basilio,” said Guitar Player Brazil magazine in its October, 2015 issue. Jean Carllos, keyboard player of the band Oficina G3 is featured on the track "Hey Charlie!". The 10-song package includes a mini-documentary and behind-the-scenes footage on the DVD.

Lari's third original record, the album “Far More” album (2019), was recorded at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles with an all-star band : Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Nathan East (bass) and Greg Phillinganes (keys/piano). Also bringing two very special guests: Joe Satriani (on the track Glimpse of Light) and Siedah Garrett (on the track Man in The Mirror, for which Lari created a new arrangement). The album was produced by Lari Basilio and Rodrigo Rios.

In 2022 Lari Basilio released the album “Your Love” and it debuted at high positions on iTunes Rock Charts around the world. The album features once again Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), and also the bass players Sean Hurley and Leland Sklar, and Ester Na (keys and piano) recorded at United Recording Studios in Los Angeles. The album was produced by Lari Basilio.

Lari won the instrumental category of the Samsung E-Festival in 2014 and performed for a crowd of 15,000 at the Samsung Best of Blues Festival in São Paulo, Brazil.

Additionally, Lari was part of the Joe Satriani's G4 Experience 2019 and also the John Petrucci's Guitar Universe 4.0 in 2023.
