Haddad - Ars Longa Vita Brevis

Haddad is a current Brazilian band, that exists since the mid-Eighties. It can be regarded a a real family affair ! Here's Gustavo Haddad on keyboards and vocals, his brother Leandro on guitars and the father Zezito on saxophone. This allows US to hear beautiful alto saxophone parts, by the way ! They are helped by a guitarist, a bass player and a drummer. Their aim is to deliver a melodious and refined Progressive rock music, partly instrumental, in the grand tradition of the Anglo-Saxon masters (GENESIS, CAMEL, IQ, MARILLION...). Recorded in the year 2004, "Ars Longa Vita Brevis" is already their sixth album ! Lyrical guitars, sophisticated melodies, lively rhythms and symphonic keyboards are the main ingredients of this nice music full of freshness and positive vibrations. Add to this a discreet and elegant Latin melancholy. To be sipped without restriction !
