The latest of these solo albums is called &#8216;Sounds Of Innocence&#8217;, which released on iTunes a couple of weeks ago. It&#8217;s a very diverse presentation of Kiko&#8217;s skills on his beloved instrument, and should be a worthwhile listen for prog\/power metal fans worldwide. Last week, I sat down for a chat with the now Los Angeles resident to talk about this album and lots more. Check out the 15-minute conversation below, and visit Kiko online using the links at the bottom.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iQNP1_Ro9_E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/kikoloureiro.com.br\/en\" target=\"_blank\">kikoloureiro.com.br\/en<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/kikoloureiro\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com\/kikoloureiro<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/kikoloureiroofficial\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com\/kikoloureiroofficial<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andrew Bansal Although primarily known as the guitarist of the Brazilian power metal band Angra for the past two decades, Kiko Loureiro has done quite a few other things in his musical career, including collaborations with various artists both within and outside the heavy metal realm, and four solo albums.
