Lô Borges (Born Salomão Borges Filho on January 10, 1952) is a Brazilian songwriter, singer, and guitarist. He was one of the founders of Clube da Esquina, a group of musicians that originated in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. He co-authored with Milton Nascimento the album Clube da Esquina in 1972, which was a milestone in Brazilian popular music. Among his most famous compositions are "Paisagem da Janela", "Para Lennon e McCartney", "Clube da Esquina No. 2", "Trem de Doido", and "O Trem Azul".
Influence
In 2018, Alex Turner, from Arctic Monkeys, cited Borges' Aos Barões in a list of songs that inspired the album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. Borges was very happy about the mention, but was not that familiar with the band's music. He decided to listen to Turner's discography, which he enjoyed, with Tranquility Base being his favourite album.
