João Araújo

…nesse imenso caminho irregular, há atalhos quase desertificados… vias fraturadas… sendas decaídas, onde sobressaltam os desejos não concretizados… do vazio que preenche os becos abandonados, resta apenas a consciência de se saber caminho… por vezes, as entradas conduzem a um conto falhado, um poema frustrado… talvez, um diário de bordo, mal feito e descuidado… quiçá, a esboço longínquo de um romance fragmentado… fragatas à deriva… ciganos quase-imóveis e, ainda assim, necessários…

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.
