Once upon a time, in an alternate dimension, the spirits of Jimi Hendrix, Jaco Pastorius and John Bonham were looking for some spiritual improvement in their boring afterlives among the angels; so, they scheduled a meeting to discuss about the new sounds they were hearing coming from the mortals. The meeting occurred somewhere in the stratosphere right above Pakistan and Afghanistan, where they could easily hear and remember the great eastern music and sounds they all loved in the old days. Someone started talking about the exotic and beautiful eastern European music; someone, then, remembered the name of Béla Bartók and someone else made a connection with the progressive rock band King Crimson and other bands that like to experiment with new ideas.

Then someone talked about musical improvisation as a spiritual experience and how this is now so clear and easy in the afterlife. And so they stopped talking and started jamming for a long, non-measurable time. With help from the mystic teachings of the notorious Mme. Blavatsky, the Brazilian rock band Dialeto, captured some far emanations from this historic ultra-dimensional spiritual meeting and, as a result, recorded the CD entitled "Will Exist Forever".

DIALETO is an Art-Rock Brazilian band formed in 1987 by Nelson Coelho (guitar and vocals), Miguel Angel (drums ans backing vocals) and Andrei Ivanovic (fretless bass). The band has been reactivated after a long period in the limbo and, after the release of their first album "Will Exist Forever", they're already working on a new album
 
Biography: "A complete separation from foreign influences means stagnation: well assimilated foreign impulses offer possibilities of enrichment.....Contact with foreign material not only results in a exchange of melodies, but it gives an impulse to the development of new styles." “Race Purity in Music” (1942), Béla Bartók Essays, ed. Benjamin Suchoff (London, 1976), 29–3

DIALETO is an Art-Rock band formed in Brazil in 1987 by Nelson Coelho on guitar and vocals, Andrei Ivanovic on fretless bass and Miguel Angel on drums and backing vocals.

Nelson descends from Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese and Brazilians; Andrei descends from Yugoslavians and Miguel from Spaniards and Haitians. They all were raised in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, were people, migrated from all over the world, live together exchanging many cultural and life experiences. They also grew up listening to great American and European rock bands such as King Crimson, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Santana, Frank Zappa, Black Sabbath, Mahavishnu Orchestra and many others.

With all this cultural background, and also with influences from folk eastern music, the band constructed their original and peculiar sound based on the ideal of cultural and ethnic integration; on the concept that the world, as seen from the space, has no frontiers and any language is completely understandable if translated to music. After playing in bands from the local underground rock scene like Zero, Akira S, Sotaque, Vultos , Okoto, etc, Nelson, Miguel and Andrei formed DIALETO in 1987, releasing the LP "Dialect" in 1991 and playing in many venues until 1994.

After 15 years, they return and release their first CD, recovering the songs from the 90's, including "Existence", song inspired by a traditional theme from Pakistan and Afghanistan, which the chorus "Will Exist Forever" names the album. The power trio re-assume now their intense music, sometimes unpredictable and mysterious, filled with unconventional improvised parts with sonorities that send us to far and imaginary places, in a truly sensorial challenge.
