Nuno Canavarro (born 15 November 1962) is a Portuguese composer.
He learned to play piano at a very young age and was in a band called the Street Kids.
He also played with the Portuguese band Delfins, and with Carlos Maria Trindade (Madredeus, Heróis do Mar).
This record was a strong influence on the sound of many postmodern electronic musicians, including Mouse on Mars and Jim O'Rourke.
Nuno Canavarro has also composed music for Portuguese films including Fintar o Destino, O Gotejar da Luz (Light Drops), 14 de Fevereiro (a 1 de Abril), "O Jogo da Glória" and Janelas Verdes.
