Born 1955. In 1985 Romero Lubambo left Brazil for New York, where he became very much in demand not only for authentic Brazilian sound, but also for his command of a variety of styles.

Lubambo has performed and recorded with many outstanding artists including, Dianne Reeves, Michael Brecker, Kathleen Battle, Herbie Mann, Ivan Lins, Flora Purim and Airto Moreira, Paquito D'Rivera, Harry Belafonte, Grover Washington Jr., Leny Andrade and Cesar Camargo Mariano.

He has also established himself as a composer and performer on his own critically acclaimed recording projects.

Romero Lubambo is considered by critics to be "the best practitioner of his craft in the world today... the guitarist's facility, creativity and energy are in a class all their own."
