Great talent cannot be contained.  So it is with Oscar Lopez - he is nonstop, relentless and impossible to resist.  How Lopez performs is how he feels about the music.  "I know a lot of people use the word, but passion is what I feel when I play.  Everything is in the heat of the moment."

Music can take on a human form.  Conception begins with a note or idea.  A series of notes, a jolt of percussion, a myriad of influences from different artists, cultures and experimentation - these are the nourishing elements.  Over time, it develops personality, wealth and character.  This is the belief held by Lopez.  Never afraid to venture into different genres, Lopez is known as one of today's most daring, eclectic artists.

Lopez leaves his music open to change, allowing it to take on different forms, while infusing it with the passion and heat that it is signature style.  What may start as jazz, evolves over time, taking on Latin characteristics as well as blues, folk and flamenco.  ARMANDO'S FIRE is a perfect example of this free-flowing approach.

The album is inspired by Lopez's inner voice, Armando - Lopez's middle name, and noted by some as the "other" Lopez persona.  "Armando is as much a part of me as Oscar," he explains.  "He has a strong voice, and so I decided that this album was his chance for self-expression."
