About Me

Chinmayo and Nani T. are experienced musicians who started working together in the late eighties. With the advent of the new millennium, they chose the name that truly says it all:
DAO.
The ancient Chinese poet Lao Tze used this word in a spiritual and philosophical context to mean the path, but also the ten thousand things that represent nothing less than the origin of the world.
As the driving force behind DAO, Nani T. and Chinmayo look after most of the songwriting and producing.
But to achieve this level of musical diversity, where soaring beats and opulent arrangements abound, it takes more than just two people with a notebook and a stack of CD samples. Thats why live instruments and vocals play such a large part in all DAO tracks, where they mingle amiably with underlying, pulsating grooves from the spheres of jazz, funk, pop and world music.
The whole affair is draped in a subtle esoteric veil that grows naturally from the musical abilities and everyday spirituality of its creators. In a nutshell, what we have here are grooves with content.
