Kiko Loureiro

"No Gravity"

The Story
He's frequently voted as one of the most talented guitar players worldwide and Brazilian axeman Kiko Loureiro shows all his versatility and musical expertise on "No Gravity". Tha album also relies on the talents of producer Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Angra) and drummer Mike Terrana (Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony MacAlpine). Kiko not only proves he's a guitar virtuoso, but that he's definitely a complete musician by also handling percussion, keyboards, piano, bass and acoustic guitars on the album. Kiko locked himself in the German studio with Mike and Dennis and came out with an impeccable instrumental CD. "No Gravity" shows the wide approach Kiko uses to build his musical foundations. His deep knowledge of rock 'n' roll, heavy metal and jazz music can be noticed in all the solos, riffs and melodies pertaining to the album. Yes, this is a rock record, but there's plenty of local traditional Latin rhythms executed with aggression, fury and utmost passion. This is all about a musician that's renowned for the accurate and harmonious creation of his tunes and themes. All of this could only result in an instrumental album that's an absolute pleasure to listen to. After all, "No Gravity" is Kiko Loureiro's talents amplified by all his astonishing influences.
