A new interview from ejazz news entitled Kiko Loureiro and His Inverted Universe of Music...a snippet
I listened to a lot of Randy Rhoads! Great solos, well constructed. I've listened much more to Van Halen, for instance; and I was never the "Les Paul guy," but I admire Randy's talent. Frank Zappa is very interesting, but when I listen to more experimental music I go straight to the 60's jazz scene: Miles Davis Quintet, Coltrane or the great Brazilians such as Egberto Gismonti and Hermeto Pascoal. I know all of Miles' different periods; I like them all. He is the jazz Forest Gump, he was there and things happened; his biography is a historical document. Chico Science and Manque Beat was a small movement in Brazil in the 90's. I like the idea of bringing the traditional percussion element with the rock and electronic elements. Chico was very important to rescue and bring to the young generation the respect for the Brazilian music. He showed that it was possible to do the cultural cannibalism, bring the information from abroad and mix it with the primitive music from our country.
