Kiko Loureiro - Anastácia (Universo Inverso)

They say Kiko Loureiro should be arrested for being too good! Some say he's a jazz guy who plays heavy metal guitars... Well, this Brazilian guitar virtuoso is simply fantastic at blending all sorts of musical elements in his solos. He's got it all: music sense, song writing and guitar skills, and most importantly he nailed them!

Anyway, Universo Inverso is Kiko's solo album and nothing related to Angra. In fact I wasn't aware of Angra until I heard Kiko's solo work. Anastácia is the very first piece of music that introduced Kiko Loureiro to me.

From breezy easy guitar intro to energetic jazz improvisation, the quartet blends so well together giving each other their best in this progressive, Brazilian, fusion format. I especially love the piano part in this tune, because it makes me feel like going to the pub in town, sit down, unwind and have some drinks with a bunch of good friends!

Bravo Kiko! You guys rock!
