Armando Lôbo

About Me

* * *

After a surprising solo debut, Armando Lôbo presents his second work “Vulgar & Sublime”. The album gathers all elements of the composer’s signature style: poetical and dissonant content, combination of Brazilian rhythms – maracatu, ciranda, baião, samba – and intriguing arrangements, resulting in a contemporary sound, ranging from popular tradition to classical music in not so usual ways.

Depois de surpreender em seu primeiro disco solo, o pernambucano Armando Lôbo apresenta em 2008 “Vulgar e Sublime”. Estão presentes os elementos que são a marca do compositor: alta voltagem poética, combinação de ritmos – maracatu, ciranda, baião, samba – e arranjos intrigantes, que resultam em uma sonoridade contemporânea, percorrendo da tradição brasileira à música erudita de várias tendências.
