Dino abraçou o bandoneón ainda menino. Além de seu pai, sofreu influencia de músicos como Cuchi Leguizamón e da linhagem lírica do tango de Francisco de Caro e Augustin Bardi.
Dino descreve a vivacidade de suas execuções musicais como sendo um “retorno imaginário” aos vilarejos e cidadelas de sua infância.

Gravou "Kultrum" com o Quarteto Rosamunde. Nos anos 80 firmou várias parcerias com músicos de jazz americanos e europeus como Charlie Haden, Tomasz Stanko,Clarlie Mariano,Palle Danielsson e Al Di Meola. que deram a ele a oportunidade para exibir seus dotes musicais ao bandoneón.


Timoteo "Dino" Saluzzi (born on May 20, 1935 in Campo Santo (Ingenio San Isidro), Salta Province) is an Argentine musician.
The son of popular carpero composer and instrumentalist Cayetano Saluzzi, Dino played the bandoneón since his childhood. Other than his father, he was influenced by Salta musicians such as Cuchi Leguizamón, and by the lyrical strain of the tango of Francisco de Caro and Agustin Bardi. Dino described the vividness of his musical sketches as "an imaginary return" to the little towns and villages of his childhood.
His record career doesn't start until the 70s, along with Gato Barbieri, whe he signed a couple of crazy lyricism albums under the name of Gaucho. Over this decade, he worked on many tours in South America and specially in Japan, but always associated to other names, as Mariano Mores or Enrique Mario Franchini.
Through word-of mouth publicity (mostly from expatriate musicians who idolized him) he was invited to several European music festivals, and landed as a contract with the prestigious ECM label. Several records have resulted, including Kultrum, a 1998 free-experimental effort with the Rosamunde Quartett. From the beginning of the 1980s onwards, there were numerous collaborations with European and American jazz musicians; many bandleaders were keen to provide a setting for Saluzzi's bandoneon. A partial list includes Charlie Haden, Tomasz Stanko, Charlie Mariano, Palle Danielsson, and Al Di Meola.
ECM brought Saluzzi together with Charlie Haden, Palle Mikkelborg and Pierre Favre for Once Upon A Time ... Far Away In The South, and subsequently with Enrico Rava for Volver.
Anja Lechner and Dino have toured widely as a duo, too and US jazz magazine "Down Beat" declares the album "Ojos Negros" that they recorded together, album of the year (best of 2007 list).
