5 years after his last and 3rd album, Lucas Arruda finally presents his long awaited new LP, "Ominira". Since the release of his first album on Favorite Recordings ("Sambadi" / 2013), Lucas Arruda Bhas clearly established himself as one of the most talented contemporary artists and composers from Brazil. His music is filled with fusion style, mixing influences and elements from his Latin musical background, with his genuine admiration for jazz, soul, pop and funk music.

Now a father and family man, he turned more deeply into his native influences when composing this beautiful new album. Fully composed and produced by Lucas, "Ominira" also features appearances from friends, local musicians and artists such as Italo Vinicius (drums), Thiago Arruda (guitars), Roger Rocha (sax), or Flavia K and Andre Motta on vocals.

'Ominira is about freedom, art and music. It's also about honoring my ancestors and my musical influences. I delved a little deeper into my African roots, in addition to Brazilian music and rhythms, and my longtime passion for soul / funk. After a long production process I feel like I made my best album. So, I present to you Ominara, a new chapter in my career. Have a nice trip!'
