Antonio Loureiro
Meet the artist
A multi-instrumentalist and composer who crosses the boundaries between Brazilian songs, instrumental music, jazz, and electronic music. Despite complex rhythms and compositions, he retains a natural sense of songfulness, creating rich sounds that connect with Minas’ music. Keyboards, percussion and voice soften the boundary between songs and instrumental pieces.
Interlocking rhythms retain naturally memorable melody, while closer listening reveals the construction underneath. Harmonies associated with Minas song extend into contemporary recording and varied ensembles. Improvisation and a composer's overview remain closely linked. His work presents Brazilian music as a culture still generating new sounds rather than a fixed stylistic template.
