Juliano Abramovay is a multi-instrumentalist and composer from Brazil. While studying classical guitar in São Paulo, he began to branch out from traditional guitar technique, mastering fretless guitar and oud, as well as researching traditional music from Greece and Turkey. He continued his musical studies with a master at Codarts - University for the Arts, where he currently teaches disciplines related to research. Juliano is currently a PhD student in Ethnomusicology at Durham University.

After an intense period of studying, Juliano created projects that merge the melodic richness of the Eastern Mediterranean traditional music with his background as a Brazilian musician, with the projects Amazonon and duo Cobogó. He has worked as an organizer for the popular music series Winter Festival of Campos do Jordão and helped to run the label and arts collective Selo Risco. Also an active educator, Juliano taught at a multidisciplinary art program that works with youth in underserved São Paulo’s neigborhoods. He has also worked extensively as composer and performer for dance (with Morena Nascimento), theatre (with Martha Kiss), cinema (for Fernando Meirelles) and circus (with Sophia Oltmanns).
