LOA MORENA

João Araújo e Adalberto Cavalcanti

Uma morena pra adoçar a vida,

Pra dá guarida a um solitário coração,

Vem cá moça bonita, flor do meu xodó,

Vem mostrar que esse calor você roubou do Sol,

Pro seu olhar que logo me fascina,

Jeito menina misturado com mulher,

Faço uma loa, mirando a garoa,

E fico à toa, pronto pro que der e vier

Vem, moça bonita,

Vê minha aflição:

Meu peito aperreado só na marcação

E na peleja de ganhar seu coração...

RELEASE JOÃO ARAÚJO

João Araújo is a poet, composer, percussionist and musical producer. He was born in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, a place with many different cultural influences including European (Iberian), African and Native American. Maybe this origin produced eclectic expressions in his work. He composes many different musical genres like choro, samba, bossa nova, waltz and rock, in addition to Brazilian regional styles like baião, frevo, toada, maracatu and caboclinho.

Some of these compositions are made with most special partners, for example, Luciano Magno (guitarist), Dalva Torres (pianist and singer), Bozó 7 Cordas (guitarist), Nuca (guitarist), Walmir Chagas (actor), Beto do Bandolim (bandolinist) and Samuel Valente (composer).

In his artistic way, he produced many CD’s in general styles. Among them, the CD “Valsas Pernambucanas”, made with the participation of many musicians and composers. This CD was supported by the government of the city of Recife. Another line of his artistic work is in the style that is the musical symbol of his hometown: the Frevo. In this musical genre, João Araújo made two new CD’s: the CD “Um Bloco em Poesia”, with the style frevo-de-bloco and the CD “Pernambucarnaval” (in partner with the producer Mangaba Produtos). Particularly, in this last CD in addition to the three frevos’ genres (frevo-de-bloco, frevo-canção and frevo-de-rua) it includes all the rhythms of the Carnival of Pernambuco.

Still in the musical production, João Araújo made the CD “Verso e Canção”, where he gave attention to the local rhythms of North eastern Brazil. This CD had the participation of many local artists. Another work is the CD “Inspirações” of the local musician Adalberto Cavalcanti. The main style in this CD is the Choro.

In 2001, João Araújo established (together with a group of artists and friends) the “Trupe Lírico-Musical Um Bloco em Poesia”, making its anthem “Estandarte Poesia” (with the partnership of Adalberto Cavalcanti). This music is a frevo-de-bloco and it already is famous in the Carnival of Pernambuco. The “Um Bloco em Poesia” is a group of artists and lovers of poetry, frevo music and the cultural values of North eastern Brazil.
