Villa‐Lobos (English spelling) Heitor Villa‐Lobos

Japanese: ビラ･ロボス（英語表記）Heitor Villa‐Lobos

1887‐1959
A representative modern Brazilian composer. He learned the cello from his father. Between the ages of 18 and 25, he traveled throughout Brazil, encountering folk music from all over the country, which later inspired him to fuse Western and Brazilian music. From 1915 onwards, he regularly gave concerts of his own compositions, and his talent was gradually recognized, leading to him receiving financial support in 1923 to travel to Europe, where he interacted with artists in Paris and received new inspiration. After returning to Rio de Janeiro in 1930, he founded the National Conservatory of Music (1942) and the Music Academy (1945), and was also active as a conductor.
