Rockshots Records – Brazilian Multi-Instrumentalist Lucas Barbosa’s TERRA’s New Video “Sign My Name”
Debut Album “Hypercube” Out November 19th
Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Lucas Barbosa will be releasing his studio project Terra and its debut album “Hypercube” on November 19th via Rockshots Records.
Today, the second single “Sign My Name” is revealed with a lyric video via Rockshots Records YouTube channel – https://youtu.be/6MZ1mf55tgM

Barbosa explains the track:
“‘Sign My Name’ is led by a percussive guitar line in its core, but starts and ends with two smooths Bossa Nova style progressions performed on the classical guitar. It fits the development of the album with a message of reconciliation with our own identity, where the artist sheds light on his roots, on his Indigenous, African and European origins. Sign My Name is a statement about owning who we are. It’s about to be seen, by ourselves, as unique human beings, full of defects, qualities and mixed experiences, and it’s about understanding where we come from so that we may know where he is going. Fully emerged in Brazilian atmosphere, this song is loaded with samba influences, manifested through a glaring and raw Brazilian attitude, with the strength of those who know and respect its origins, proud of the historic and cultural legacies that flow through one’s veins.”
Terra brings a combination of musical, audiovisual and artistic experience that translates the personality and ideas of Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Lucas Barbosa, resulting in a musical journey for those who love music and exploration of the new.
“The idea of Terra was always there, I believe. I have been composing and writing songs since I was 15. I needed a platform to structure and back these songs. This platform should allow me to combine some passions of mine: folk and metal music, traveling and photography. When I was around 20, I came up with the concept of TERRA, a project that would combine all the influences that made the musician and the person I am, in an organic manner, which would allow me to tell my stories of discoveries and exploration, including my experiences traveling through Brazil and throughout the world. It took about 10 years to actually find the environment and opportunity to bring this idea to life by recording Hypercube and kick-starting this journey.” comments Barbosa.
Terra’s first record is the outcome of the combination of elements put together to tell a story of a journey of growth and self-discovery, that frankly, could be the tale of every human being at some point in their lives. Ten songs are there to paint a picture of the artist’s personality and explore each step of the way with the respective deserved depth. Although heavy metal is the glue that unites all the musical nuances presented on this album, “Hypercube” does not shy away from a rich range of influences such as American Bluegrass, Country Music, Classic Rock, Classical Music, Western Folk, traditional Brazilian, Caipira and Sertanejo music along with passages of Samba, Capoeira, Bossa Nova and many others to convey its message. Lucas Barbosa was responsible for playing almost all instruments, including rhythm and lead guitars in all their forms (electric, classical, 6 string, 12 string), bass, Brazilian guitar (or Viola Caipira), Andean guitar (or Charango), Pan flute (Andean flute), harmonica, percussions and piano, in addition to performing all of the vocals in the songs.
Terra‘s debut album “Hypercube” is due out November 19, 2021.
