Norberto Lobo

Norberto Lobo is a Lisbon-based musician and Mudar de bina is his first solo album. It’s a record centred almost exclusively on the sound of the acoustic guitar and therefore on the expressive abilities of Norberto Lobo as a guitarist.
In these days of ‘polished’ music production it became easy to forget the eminently physical character of a significant part of musical creation. Records like Mudar de bina contribute in some way to revert this tendency.
