Soler: Band of Substance

Dino & Julio Acconci are two handsome, educated, cultured, classy and extremely talented fraternal twin brothers born of Euroasian decent, being Italian from their faternal side and Bermese from their maternal side. They were born & raised in Macau, China until the age of 17 upon the death of their father and decided to move to their father's native country Italy to study & learn the Italian language. They lived mostly in Florence, but lived in other parts of Italy as well while they studied and worked. They first launched their music career when they had a chance encounter with someone working in the music business who introduced them to a music excutive and thus they were able to strike up a record deal with EMI Italy. They were able to produce their very first music album, but whether it was actually released is not known. It has just been said that their record company dropped them because it was thought that Soler's music style was not appropriate for that time. The Acconci boys stayed in Italy for around 9 years & then they moved to the UK for around to further their careers and tried to strike up new record deals but was also unsuccessful. After a year in the UK, the longing for their mother & hometown, lead them to move back to Macau. And after the return to their birthplace, mother luck striked them when Dino was invited to audition for Paul Wong's band and successfully made the cut. And from their lead to their ultimate destiny to become one of the most popular & prominent bands in Hong Kong, all over Asia and within Asian communities all over the world.

Their latest album CANTO contains a double meaning, one of them symbolising the language they grew up speaking which is Cantonese, & the other being "Io Canto" as in the Italian words for I sing. I find both of the meanings to be very distinct of their Identy: Cantonese. Asian, Italian, singing & music. It could not be more of a mere accident.
