Renowned Drummer Lucio Vieira to Debut a New Single

Nov. 4, 2025

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Renowned drummer Lucio Vieira is set to debut his newest single “Beyond,” a new jazz fusion-themed release featuring acclaimed bassist Francisco Fattoruso.

“I had this idea to record some compositions and called my friend and great bassist Francisco. After a long musical conversation over the phone, he came up with some brilliant ideas.’ Vieira said. “I created the drum part and the solo at the end and thought another friend of mine, the amazing guitarist Rob Reishak, would be a perfect fit. He brought incredible creativity to the track, so it became a complete collaboration.”

The instrumental song, available on Apple Music and all major platforms, marks Vieira’s latest exploration of Brazilian-rooted fusion.

The title “Beyond,” alludes to the idea of a spiritual dimension of existence—how faith, belief and awareness can shape the way one experiences the world. “When the song shifts into a minor key, it takes you somewhere unexpected,” Vieira explained. “It’s like a journey—you begin to see images. For me, I see the ocean. It’s like going to the beach on a cloudy day and then suddenly, the sun breaks through, transforming everything into light, beauty and joy.”

"Beyond" comes ahead of Vieira's upcoming EP, now being recorded which features a collection of original works blending Brazilian music, rock and jazz. The yet-untitled EP is set for release early next year, in early 2026 and will feature collaborations with Fattoruso, Reischak and other special guests.

A native of Manaus, Brazil, Vieira, is known for his drumming style and innovative fusion of Brazilian, jazz and rock traditions. Raised by a musician father, he was immersed in classical, jazz, Brazilian, soul and pop music from an early age that shaped a career that would earn him international recognition, including a Latin Grammy Award for his work with Dominguinhos.

His past work includes collaborations with Melissa Manchester, Frank Gambale, Allen Hinds, Larry Coryell, Herb Alpert, Hubert Laws and Moein and many others.
