. Vitor Lopes & Chorando as Pitangas - Harmonica player and songwriter Vitor Lopes, alongside with the “Choro” group “Chorando as Pitangas”, launches their first CD showing the Brazilian “suingue” of an harmonica.
The Group has a regional formation, showing Vitor´s own repertoire, beyond classics of “Pixinguinha”, “Jacob do Bandolim” and “Severino Araújo”
Who said that is not possible to add groove to an harmonica? The proper answer is found in the CD “Vitor Lopes & Chorando as Pitangas”, that LUA MUSIC proudly releases.
“Chorando as Pitangas” is formed by by great professionals of São Paulo´s “Choro”, Milton Mori (mandolin), Luisinho 7 Cordas (seven strings acoustic guitar), Roberta Valente (pandeiro / percussion) and Ildo Silva (cavaquinho / Brazilian typical guitar) creating a perfect musical environment for well inspired solos by Vitor Lopes on music by Ernesto Nazareth, Altamiro Carrilho, Severino Araújo, amongst others.
Vitor Lopes is 31 and started his career in pop rock bands, then he got close and passionate for the Brazilian rhythms and today is considered to be one of the standouts of the contemporary “Choro”. With an academic background, he has taken part in records of renowned artists such as “Arnaldo Antunes” , “Chitãozinho & Xororó” and “Palavra Cantada”.
The repertoire was chosen in a way to prove how inventive and flexible an hjarmonica can be played. Even in solo moments, as in “Eu Cheguei”, by Pixinguinha and Benedito Lacerda, first track of the CD and where Vitor plays different harmonicas or “Tico Tico no Fubá” by Zequinha de Abreu, where, graciously, he dialogues with the Milton Mori´s mandolim.
Another precious moment is found at “Noites Cariocas” by Jacob do Bandolin. Here, the Harmonica is presented in it´s best, full of groove, as if it wanted to talk (and it does!). Vitor´s own composition, “Tachinha” also deserves prominence, as well as “Perto do Coração” with special guest appearance of piano palyer and songwriter , Nelson Ayres, in perfect intermeshing and timing between the piano and the Harmonica
“Vitor Lopes & Chorando as Pitangas” unite technique and sophistication with spontaneity and good humour, in a well chosen repertoire that mixes “samba” , “choro” , “maxixes” and waltzes. A broad and personal picture of the best of the Brazilian music of all times.

He is considered a “Pop Priest”, Juarez Pedro de Castro, know as Priest Juarez, who celebrate the masses in the Sé Cathedral in the old center of São Paulo, after participating in many radio and TV shows, he turned out to be a of communication phenomenon of the catholic church in Brazil . Aiming to spread God´s words even more, Juarez is launching its first CD, “Deus está Aqui” (God Is Here) with a repertoire that mixes songs of the catholic universe and Brazilian music, always with messages of love and faith. Born in Lavras (MG), he is 39 and was commanded Priest in the 9th of December, 1995. He is degreed in Theology at the Theological Institute Sagrado Coração de Jesus (Taubaté/SP) and in Philosophy at the Educational Foundation of Brusque (Brusque/SC). The decision to become a Priest was difficult. His father, Sílvio de Castro, a politician and one of the influences for the boy in dealing with the public, was one against the decision. When he was aware of his son´s decision he decided not to be in touch anymore and only his ordinance, they got in touch again. His mother even wrote letters for the seminary asking Juarez to give up, but the brother, who should have put these letters in the post office, never made it.
The parents were afraid to lose Juarez. Later, the mother felt much pride and the father, only confessed itself with his son. "We do not take care of the people who we baptize. The Church has to go after the loyal ones and be open too. Our paper, as a Priest, is to be the intermediary in this communication ", says Priest Juarez. He doesn´t dress like a traditional Priest as once a lady once gave him her seat in the subway: " I never used it after that, I am not better than anybody."

When the directors Hank Levine, Marcelo Machado and Tocha Alves invited him to produce the soundtrack for “Ginga” , he didn´t hexitate: "I admire the creativity and the talent of the Brazilian soccer players.

Today, with the aid of a crutch he is a standout. In one of the most interesting moments , “Robinho” finds his first coach, who shows him a tape where he as a young promisse, defended his team and scored some goals.
