João Araújo is a Brazilian composer, poet, percussionist and record producer. He was born in Recife, a melting pot of a city with infuences from European, African and the Indigenous peoples of the American continent. These infuences have informed the eclectic expressions in his work. He comes from a multidisciplinary academic background, with a master degree in Physics and Contemporary Literature. During his career he wrote essays about Brazilian culture, science papers, short stories and poems.

With his new CD, Rival do Destino, João Araújo celebrates 20 years as a composer and invites the listener on a journey through various musical genres. The repertory ranges from traditional Brazilian samba and frevo to American jazz. This is a CD inspired by multiplicity, including several musical rhythms, sound atmospheres and the participation of various singers. It also features some of João Araújo’s musical partners like the Brazilian singer Claudya (who developed her career in São Paulo in the 60s participating in the program “O Fino da Bossa” and excelled in the music scene in 1982 with the song “Don't Cry for Me Argentina” from the musical Evita), the guitarist Luciano Magno (who has extensive international experience with several tours by European countries and the United States) and the saxophonist Márcio Resende (who has a master's degree in music from the New England Conservatory of Music in the USA and has played with artists such as Wilson Simonal, Raimundo Fagner, Toninho Horta, Elza Soares and Belchior).

João Araújo has produced many CD’s. Among them, the CD Valsas Pernambucanas, made with the participation of other composers like Capiba, Nelson Ferreira, Edgard Moraes, Levino Ferreira, Maestro Duda e Adalberto Cavalcanti. He composes also Frevo, the musical symbol of his hometown and has produced the CDs Um Bloco em Poesia, Pernambucarnaval, 10 Anos de Poesia and Um Bloco em Poesia - 15 Anos. These CDs contain all three frevos’ genres: frevo-de-bloco, frevo-canção and frevo-de-rua. Still available in the musical production, João Araújo produced the CD Verso e Canção, with the rhythm Forró, a musical genre of North eastern Brazil.

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.
