Kiko Loureiro and His Inverted Universe of Music

Originally published on eJazzNews · · Interviews

A feature on Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro and his album Universo Inverso, written by a contributor who regularly played the record at the 55 Bar in New York and found that listeners kept asking what it was.

The piece described Loureiro's background in rock, Brazilian metal and instrumental guitar music, his instructional DVDs and his following in France, Japan and South America, and argued that his technique served strong musical ideas rather than display.
