The Journey of Pablo Lapidusas

An Artist in Motion: The Journey of Pablo Lapidusas

Pianist, composer, producer and educator, Pablo Lapidusas has built a career that defies easy categorization over the past three decades. Born in Argentina, raised in Brazil and based in Portugal, Lapidusas is a global artist whose music reflects a unique synthesis of cultural and stylistic influences. With eight albums and a songbook to his name, Lapidusas is a restless musician, constantly redefining his interpretative possibilities.

The Mark of a Virtuoso
What defines Lapidusas is his unmistakable rhythmic vigor, a sonic signature that permeates his compositions and performances. His technical virtuosity is evident but never ostentatious, as legendary Brazilian composer Edu Lobo observed: "His compositions are extremely rich, the result of enormous devotion and passion." This passion shines through in every chord, in every melodic phrase, in every improvisation he delivers on stage.

Since 2008, Lapidusas has performed mainly as a soloist and with his trio, "P.L.I.N.T", and has also collaborated with orchestras and big bands from Portugal, Canada, Israel and the USA, playing his own repertoire. His performances are marked by a rare intensity. South African journalist Gwen Ansell captured this dynamic when describing one of his performances: "He was impressed by the total silence (you could hear a pin drop) for his performance, but perhaps no more impressed than the audience, by his astonishing technique, unpredictable tempo changes, delicate light and shadows, and a solid rhythmic left hand."

Collaborations that Speak for Themselves Lapidusas' list of collaborations is a testament to his versatility and the admiration he earns in every corner of the world; Hermeto Pascoal, Edu Lobo, Marcelo D2, Jaques Morelenbaum, I Musici di Montreal, Cesar Camargo Mariano, Hamilton de Holanda, Marcus Wyatt, Carlos Malta, Eugene Friesen, Sid Jacobs, Zezé Motta, Joni Schwalbach, Mordy Ferber, Ehud Ettun, Wanda Sá, Quarteto em Cy, Eduardo Dussek, Sandra de Sá, Victor Biglione, Nelson Faria, Gabriel Grossi, Maria João, Bena Lobo, Rem Urasin and Amir Milstein are some of the names with whom he has shared studios and stages in more than 40 countries. Ivan Lins, another icon of Brazilian music, defines Lapidusas as "bold and with impeccable technique", highlighting his ability to "flirt with harmonic and rhythmic oddities." In 2021, Lapidusas received the "Professional Music Award" for the soundtrack of the TV series Herdeiros de Saramago, broadcast by RTP. This recognition crowned a career that transcends the stage and connects with other art forms.
