Born in the Brazilian city Sao Jose dos Campos, Eliomar Landim began studying the accordion at the age of 7 and throughout his career he has dedicated himself to adapting classical music to his instrument. He studied with Toninho Ferragutti in his hometown and with Emanuele Rastelli in Italy, and in 2015 he graduated from the Conservatory of Sao Paolo.He currently teaches classical and traditional accordion, students from Brazil, USA, China and Canada attending his class. He has also distinguished himself as a composer and arranger - he composed a concerto for accordion and orchestra in 2022, being influenced by Astor Piazzola and Toninho Ferragutti. So Eliomar Landim is a complex and eloquent musician, and his recent album is proof of that.

About this performer, his renowned accordionist and teacher Toninho Ferragutti says: "Eliomar Landim is fantastic, very coherent. We needed someone to play classical music on the accordion, someone with the knowledge he has. So I feel immensely happy to see him filling this space." Indeed, Eliomar Landim has this merit, that he has given classical music a new colour and originality through his accordion playing, and has also broadened the repertoire for his instrument through the original compositions and arrangements he has given to famous baroque, romantic and modern creations.
