Nuno Canavarro (born 15 November in 1962) is a Portuguese composer.[1] He studied architecture in Oporto. He learned to play piano at a very young age and was in a band called the Street Kids who is even today considered one of the most original bands in Portugal[citation needed]. He also played with the famous Portuguese band, The Delfins, and with Carlos Maria Trindade. He is also responsible for the 1988 experimental music recording: Plux Quba – Música para 70 Serpentes. This record was a strong influence on the sound of many postmodern electronic musicians, including Mouse On Mars and Jim O'Rourke, the latter of whom re-released Plux Quba on his own Moikai label in 1999.
Nuno Canavarro has also composed music for Portuguese films including O Gotejar da Luz, 14 de Fevereiro (a 1 de Abril), and Janelas Verdes. He also produced a DVD about his father's experience in the Portuguese war and composed original music for the DVD, Elefante Dundum (2007). Recently he received Portuguese funds to make a movie called Casa da Montanha.
