DIALETO is an Art-Rock / Progressive 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, who also played in the prestigious prog band “O TERÇO”, formed DIALETO in 1987, releasing the LP “Dialect” in 1991 (Faunus Records) and playing in many local venues until 1994.
