Three distinctive contexts of Brazilian Music represented by the instrumental quintet Pau Brasil, the string quartet Ensemble SP and the singer Renato Braz teamed up to reread and to rediscover, in an unusual performance, the compositions of the most important icon of our culture: Heitor Villa-Lobos.
Villa-Lobos is reinterpreted in such a way that the audience can penetrate his musical universe, masterfully delivering the listener to the rhythms rooted among popular and folkloric Brazilian music. Thus, most of the compositions are not presented in their original version, the musical arrangements allow the performers illustrious improvisations, however they embrace gracefully the composer’s melodic ideas.
The spirit of the music of Brazil in each note or melody featured in the album Villa-Lobos Superstar brings new ground in musical concepts and creative energy to today, showing all that was discovered and developed by our greatest composer and sparking profound impact on all of Brazilian music shades.
