Nando Lauria

about

Nando Lauria (born 11 May 1960 in Recife, Brazil) is a Brazilian singer, guitarist, composer, arranger and record producer. As early as seven years old, Lauria began playing violao (Brazilian acoustic guitar). He grew up in a musical family where his older brother played electric guitar in a band, and Lauria used to go to their concerts attempting to mimic the behavior at home with his violao. As a youth in the 1970s he heard repeatedly Beatles' releases, as well as popular Brazilian musicians. On his own he listened to the music and learned gradually more chord rows, and his admiration for music grew. Unlike music schools' educational approach, Lauria learned to improvise and take pleasure in their own "discoveries" in the music. By age 12 he was active in many school productions and was often seen on local television and in theater. At the age of 15 Lauria went to a music festival in Brazil, called "Abertura". There he met national music at a high level, and especially he noticed a guitar duo named Burnier & Cartier. Other musicians who were present at the festival were, among others, Milton Nascimento with Clube da Esquina, Ivan Lins, Djavan and Egberto Gismonti. By age 16 he made ​​his first self-produced song (called "Jangadeiro"); this can be translated like "boat man." This is said to have been crucial to his career choice; he would become a composer. Another group influenced Nando; they were the vocal group Boca Livre (Free Mouth in English). With this
