Pedro Boschi

Born: September 10, 1982

Pedro’s music reflects the colors and sounds of the Mata Atlântica. His compositions are a unique synthesis of rich imagination and some magic. Pedro’s music is not only influenced by musicians such as Jobim and Hermeto Pascoal, but heavily influenced by literature and poetry. His musicality and great creativity make his compositions somewhat poetic chronicles full of metaphors of the Brazilian collective imagination. The sounds of the forest and rivers, the ocean and the birds are always there, even when not in the most conventional way. His music approaches harmony and melody in such an imaginative way, each song creates its own universe

They would certainly recognize aspects of their own music, but they would not be able to keep their butts on the bench."
