Nuno Flores, the crow, is an artist with a long musical career in national and international markets. This year, plans to release another album, this time a tribute to one of his favorite bands, Muse. Come on; join me on a little trip into the past, present and future of this talented musician.

One can say without compunction that Nuno Flores has printed music in his DNA. Grandson and son of artists connected to music from an early age began to read music, almost before you even learn to read. A passion fueled by his father, Fernando Flores, former bassist in the orchestra of the Gulbenkian Foundation and also a master of the first notes. Instinctively, in his first year, he chose the violin as an instrument of choice, a crucial moment that came to define his professional future and personal path. Although there were times when as he replied "when studying scales and arpeggio studies essential to determine the technique in a classical musician, I wondered if that was what I wanted to do for life, but I follow my path." A route that weighed heavily on the influence of his father, since "is one of the musicians and the men I most admire, and an excellent teacher, I owe him everything."

After all a classical training, with passage through the conservatory and summer internships in the "Youth Symphony Orchestra" and "Portuguese youth,", one event changed his life, "I saw an ad, needed a violinist for a band wit record deal. I made an appointment with Moisez, we talk, and he liked me. I at the time I had long hair, dressed in black and although I do not look like a choirboy, I was one inside, and I ended up not doing any audition, we started to rehearse and I just joined the band, this was the year 1993 ". The "sons of the nation" was the first CD recorded with Bill's farm, a theme that inspired the name of the album and marked a whole generation "is a very cheerful song with a violin solo that inspires joy, despite these new generations associated to the super-dragons song." At the same time, he founded a quartet called Amadeus Ensemble, as a tribute to his favorite composer, Mozart "he had the genius and in fact he wrote music without drafts. It is the composer who wrote more work in less time. He wrote 626 works, was an achievement. "

After years on the road with Quinta do Bill, he arises the idea of ​​forming a revolutionary band which were the Ravens. It was a natural evolution of Amadeus, "because even though we play classical music, in the middle, we played the Doors and Deep Purple, who I adapt to our instruments." A bet on innovative arrangements for rock songs adapted to a string quartet. The phenomenon of sales came immediately afterwards, with the launch of the first album dedicated to the Xutos e Pontapés. The Raven, "acted a bit all over the country and always with great success," emphasizes Nuno Flores. The solo career began after an incident that forever marked his existence of this troubled period he says "I have a great maxims, the sorrows of the past or the uncertainty of the future should not interfere with the present." A rule that motivated him to create his own production company and that led him to play in various parts of the world, including recently participated in a musical project with Carlinhos Brown. "My passion is music, play whenever, wherever, I have this freedom that allows me to be here today and tomorrow in Brazil, if it has to happen at a gas station I play for the pleasure of it. It is a sign that I'm alive, I'm here, "he concludes.
