Heitor

b. Heitor Teixeira Pereira, 29 November 1957, Brazil. Exuberant guitarist Heitor 1st came to general public prominence outside Brazil as an integral element in Just Crimson’s staggering achievement with 1989’s A FRESH Flame. Nevertheless, he has lengthy since harboured ambitions beyond that group, which ultimately led to a 1994 single album. Raised within the south east of Brazil, Heitor by no means originally envisaged music like a profession, more because the organic manifestation of his people. Ultimately a friend launched him to albums of Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, along with the traditional recordings of Mahler and Schoenberg. Suitably influenced, he decided he’d need to happen to be America to help expand his education. His 1st port of contact was Boston, Massachusetts, where he spent 1 . 5 years playing jazz and purchasing records. Then came back to Brazil to operate in the studio room with Stewart Lovine, which ultimately resulted in an invitation to go to Italy and use Basically Red. Spending many years with the music group opened his eye to new channels of music and varieties of playing, along with his ambition to record single, just like the expressive quality of his acoustic guitar technique, by no means diminishing. This handle ultimately reached fruition in 1994 having a self-tiled record sung in his indigenous Portuguese. Efforts received included the tone of voice of Mick Hucknall using one monitor, ‘Manchester’, plus South American performers Paulinho da Costa and Leo Gandelman, bass participant Man Pratt (Red Floyd), Gota Yashiki (Gota And THE REDUCED Dog) among others. However, almost all the documenting and playing was carried out by Heitor himself, with one track, ‘Joan Pernambuco’, spending tribute to the person who authenticated the usage of classical guitar as a musical instrument used beyond the vagabond community in Brazil. Located in LA, California, from 1997 Heitor offers made up soundtracks for several movies including AS EFFECTIVE AS It Gets (1997), Deceased In The Drinking water (2002), and Dirty Dance: Havana Evenings (2004).
