The name of this band was taken from the fable The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, which in the language of the High Elves means luminous, brilliant, stellar. Created and designed by musician and composer Marco Aurêh, LUMMEN made its debut on September 15, 1995 in the Concha Acústica of the Imperial Museum of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro performing the show "At Court of King". After some changes and several presentations in the capital and state, LUMMEN held in February 1997, three good shows at Rio Jazz Club. The event resulted in the first album, "Live at Rio Jazz Club", possibly the last recording made at this prestigious show house that soon fell apart. The essence of LUMMEN music contains, among other things, elements from the medieval and Renaissance period, Folk and Progressive Rock. The arrangements are a fusion between the classic and the contemporary. The lyrics are sung in Portuguese supported by the multiplicity of the instrumental group: flute, violin, guitar, mandolin, keyboard, viola, etc. LUMMEN rescues the purity of acoustic instruments, adding effects of modern technology to a colorful hybrid sound that results in the most pure and progressive original music without falling into the stereotype of the genre. The group always seeks freedom of expression, taking inspiration as a basis. The influences are several, but mainly the Brazilian THE TERRO, the Dutch of FOCUS, the British band JETHRO TULL and the Italian PREMIATA FORNRIA MARCONI. The result is a beautiful creative synthesis. Most of the themes are instrumental composed and organized by the group. The poetics and the image are emphasized by the varied nuances contained in the arrangements.
