"Igor Prado doesn't just study the Blues and Soul of the 50s and 60s; he inhabits that sound. His vintage production and guitar phrasing show a deep and organic understanding that few musicians today manage to achieve."
Living Blues Magazine (USA)
"With 'Old, New, Funky & Blue', Igor Prado and Omar Coleman deliver one of the most electrifying and mature collaborations of the year. Prado's guitar work sizzles with precision and swing, justifying his triumphant return to the American charts."
Blues Junction-USA - 2026
"Brazilian Blues is the most played genre in the USA!"
Julio Maria / O Estado de SP Newspaper
Cover of the Culture section of the newspaper, April 27, 2015.
"Prado and Coleman deliver an album where the title says it all: there's tradition (Old), freshness (New), syncopation (Funky), and soul (Blue). Igor Prado's guitar work is an absolute highlight, surgically and invigoratingly blending the rawness of the West Coast with the punch of Chicago."
Soul Bag Magazine (France)
"Igor Prado has been nominated for a Blues Music Award, the most important award for the genre in the USA!"
Rolling Stone Brazil Magazine
Publication 117, May 2016

"Igor Prado is already a big name in the world of blues, straight from South America!"
Stuart Hamilton / Blues Matters Magazine
Editor of the largest magazine in England (UK)
"What makes this album fascinating is how Igor Prado, working from his studio sensitivity and raw timbre, manages to capture the essence of 1960s Chicago Blues and temper it with the swing of modern Soul-Funk. It's not just reverence for the past, it's pure evolution guided by a master of groove."
Blues Junction (USA)
