Our Overview.
From the master of Brazilian guitar, 'Alegria De Viver' is a solo album by Lula Galvao. He is Brazil's most authentic, varied and inspired guitarist. Born Luiz Guilherme Farias Galvão in 1962 Lula has worked with with a long CV of notable musicians including Caetano Veloso, Guinga, Rosa Passos, Leila Pinheiro Rosa Passos, Ivan Lins and Cláudio Roditi.
His musical style, as well as his range, are unmatched. Galvao deals with music in a very particular way. No matter which genre or rhythm, he enriches the music with his inspired arrangements and performance, thereby adding that certain something which makes all the difference.
Performed by him even the compositions of well-known musicians appear fresh, almost as if they had just been composed. The repertoire of 'Alegria De Viver' is a true treat for the ears. It combines technical perfection with an excellent taste of music. His interpretations of classic and Brazilian music are elegant and creative, in a sophisticated way they are simple but still unique. Without losing its Brazilian roots, the recording also incorporates inspirations from the world of international jazz.
