Abel Ellieri, 15 years old! A small story of a great story.

On the last July 4th our dear Abel Ellieri turned 15 years old! Such a special age that we couldn't let it go unnoticed, so we decided to record a little bit of this boy's story and share it with you!

Abel was much desired, even before he was in his mother's womb, and when he arrived, with his 4,320 kg and 50 cm long, he was already the target of a lot of attention for being such a big and plump baby!

You know that outfit that dads separate to be the first to wear on the newly arrived baby? Yeah, Abel didn't fit, and dad had to go quickly and get a bigger one in his suitcase!

Music was already present in his life from birth, with the lullabies that dad invented, or the craziest little songs to encourage him to eat the food that mom made.

Surrounded by so much love and encouragement, Abel has been growing and developing so well! He was always attentive to his parents' rehearsals, paying attention to each instrument and preferring the drums, as is customary for younger children... and so I learned and enjoyed the world of music more and more!

When he was 2 years and 2 months old, he received a special gift! Her little sister Isabella Cristina, who received her with lots of love, care and affection! And that trait of his personality persists to this day, always being attentive to the needs of his brothers and friends, worrying about them.

Abel grew up on stage, he was always at the presentations and parties where his parents played, and he participated many times, singing and playing a tambourine, or a toy guitar!

Already bigger, when he was around 6 years old, he started to attend piano lessons, and as he grew up, he also started to learn other instruments, such as the guitar and the saxophone.

But don't think that music dominated this boy's days! Always very active, Abel participated in several different activities, for several years in a row... He already took classes in football, circus, swimming, judo... And the sadness was when the schedule of one of the classes interfered with the other and he had to to give up one of them!

Around the age of 7, he played his first show without his parents, alongside his sister Isabella Cristina, at Festitalia in Blumenau, the biggest Italian Party in Santa Catarina!

A show with Italian children's songs that was a beautiful performance dedicated to children and families! Click on the links below to check out some videos of these presentations!

It was a great success with great repercussions, moving those present. Such response from the public and their satisfaction on stage served as an even greater incentive to launch, definitively, their musical career.

From then on, they performed more frequently and began to understand the importance of different values such as discipline to rehearse, stick to schedules, and the responsibility to animate and entertain the public!

It is important to point out that alongside all these activities, physical and musical, Abel was always a great student at school with excellent grades and the same dedication he used in other areas of his life!

With such baggage and dedication, Abel has evolved a lot musically, and also as a human being, developing a charisma and friendliness that today shines on the stages he performs!

In 2014 he recorded, with his sister, his first CD, entitled Festa per Bambini, with children's songs in Italian.

Also this year, he made his first international trip, touring with his family through several European countries such as Germany, Italy and France, singing in several languages!

This tour was repeated in 2020, and this time Abel had great prominence singing Italian hits like Va Pensiero and La Dona è Mobile.

In the same year, Abel participated in TV programs with national visibility, on Rede Vida, the program Viva a Vida, by Father Alessandro Campos, click here to watch an excerpt and also the program Silvio Brito em Família, click here to watch.

In 2021, Abel was presented, by a businessman from Blumenau, admirer of his talent, one of the partners of the company Blukit, Adrian Roger Censi, winning an accordion, an instrument that he had never handled but that he wanted to learn.

In the space of a year, he had an extraordinary self-taught evolution and made the accordion the main instrument of his current performances and also of the Dal Ponte Family Shows.

Today, Abel Ellieri is a humble, talented, charismatic and dedicated young man who fills the whole family with pride! Singer of several languages, multi instrumentalist! We are very happy and grateful to see that this 15-year-old is on the right path, on a beautiful journey, becoming a great man! To be a difference in the world and bring joy and emotion to those who cross your path.

Family, our base, our roots! We hope this is good soil for your Abel roots, that you grow and can always reap the fruits of the beautiful seeds you plant!

And for you friends who follow our work, our history, our THANK YOU! You are the fuel that moves us and the satisfaction that soothes us when we see that our music brings something good to your hearts!

Until next time!
