Pio Lobato

**Pio Lobato** is a Brazilian guitarist and experimental composer known for his genre-blending sound that fuses surf rock twang, lo-fi textures, and quirky electronic experimentation. Hailing from Fortaleza, his work feels like a love letter to retro Brazilian pop culture, often infused with playful nods to vintage toys, café culture, and DIY aesthetics. Releases like *Tecnoguitarradas* (and its sequel) showcase his knack for layering gritty guitar riffs over glitchy beats, while albums like *Café* and *Casa Velha* dial into warmer, nostalgic moods. A self-produced artist with a scrappy, home-recorded vibe, Lobato’s music feels like rummaging through a box of forgotten cassettes—charmingly raw, inventive, and full of surprises.
