What impresses me the most about Yamandu's playing is his ability to toy around with rythm of the phrasing while keeping true to the main melodic idea, all with impressive precision. This manner of decomposing music reminds me a bit of what Picasso did with shapes. Have a good Sunday!
I love how you explained that! I’m more of visual artist rather than a musical one so comparing the decomposing music to Picasso’s shapes, really made me understand the process better! Thank you for your comment!
Choro is a Brazilian musical genre with deep roots in the country's popular culture. It emerged in the late 19th century, primarily in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Known for its expressive and emotive characteristics, Choro is typically performed by small instrumental ensembles. Common instruments in Choro include the guitar, cavaquinho, mandolin, and flute. Improvisation is a fundamental aspect of the style, with musicians often adding their personal interpretation to the music. Choro draws influences from various sources, including indigenous, African, and European music. It is a dynamic genre that incorporates elements of polka, maxixe, and other styles, resulting in a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Prominent composers and musicians in the Choro genre include names like Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, Ernesto Nazareth, and many others. Choro played a significant role in shaping Brazilian popular music and continues to be an important form of musical expression in Brazil.
Brazil is an endless source of surprises, not only in music. As we don't have volcanos, God gave us Yamandu. He is just telluric. He can be a hearthquake or a butterfly in the same song.
Adding to this request a little bit, in his live show I've been to, he says the story behind 'Sarara' is that he sent one of his albums to his grandma, and then after some time he called her to ask what she thought about it. She surprised him by asking "What is this album, it's all intros!" (elderly lady had probably not listened to much instrumental music haha). So he decided to make this song in which he actually sings a little. Yamandu's live show is definitely an experience of its own, especially since he's quite talkative and a really funny guy!
It's not only Brazilian culture, but the southern country's crossover with Argentinian & Uruguayan roots music. I saw him live just last week with Paquito D'Rivera on clarinet, and my jaw still hasn't come back up to meet the rest of my face! He was charming and funny, despite the language barrier... and the 1.5 hour show felt like 10 minutes, probably because we didn't want it to end. To see him constantly re-tuning his guitar for the next tune was amazing... his mastery is far more than I even imagined. Oh, and he played this during the concert.
Hello Sir. Que emoção ver você reagindo mais uma vez à Yamandu, incrível e habilidoso músico brasileiro !!! E sua análise ? Simplesmente absurda !!! Você me impressiona e encanta cada vez mais . Muito obrigada por isso. Beijo carinhoso do Brasil 😘❤️🇧🇷
This is what I call ending the weekend on a high note😃Thank you very much for another fantastic reaction/analysis on Yamandu's music, Sir!! I really liked your interpretation of the quote “Choro is classical music played with bare feet and callus on the hands” (by Aquiles Rique Reis), and I'd only add that it also hints the fact that most musicians involved with the origins of Choro were from the working class (differently from the royal elite usually connected with the traditional classical music during the Brazilian XIX century). In case you want to discover more from Yamandu’s rich repertoire, I’ll recommend to a future reaction his composition called “Carinho” (= affection/tender-heartedness) from 2 years ago: differently from the high-speed playing that you already experienced with him so far, the song “Carinho” offers a calm and soothing melody described by Yamandu as something he holds dear for its “simplicity and natural search for peace”. I think your analysis on our regional music are true jewels that I wish all Brazilians could watch, learn and give the deserved merit; thank you again, Dear Sir❣
Yamandu really just makes my brain explode/implode/cease to exist 😂 Thank you so much for recommending him in the first place! Yes, very well-said about the working class point. Ooo Carinho sounds great! I've seen a few others recommend that one too 🎶 Thanks, as always, Maria
@@SirHairless Please, don't damage your wonderful brain because we love learning everything you want teach/share with us😊I'm so happy I found your amazing channel and also very excited that you're interested in discovering more from our musical background in Brazil, including Yamandu's great work :) I'm the one who should thank you!🍀
If you jump into Brazilian music you are gonna discover something unique!! A LOT of guitar players that are just S tier, Raphael Rabello, Baden Powell, Paulinho Nogueira, Toquinho, DIlermando Reis, and so on! Aaand if you cover the historical moment of some MPB and tropicalia songs, the harmony + the history are just singular and show what music is all about in my opinion
I have to confess, I am here for the combination of high quality music, great explanations and his amazingly beautiful face. Why is he so handsome with that lovely smile and sparkling eyes 😊😊😊
When you started analizing in depth the quiet beginning of the song, I thought to myself "Oh oh, this is not going to end well". 😅 Props for not having a breakdown!
Hello, Sir! "Choro" literally means "cry" in Portuguese, BUT, it is as well the name of a musical rythm: choro or chorinho. Choro appeared before samba and, in a way, is the samba's basis. Btw, beautiful rythm that matches perfectually well with a warm spring afternoon on the park with your friends, enjoying life.
I have been listening Yamandu for about 15 years. then he wasnt as famous. im so happy he is getting the recognizion he deserves. To me he is the greatest guitarist ever. Not only a guitarrist but also a eriter and musician.
I don’t know much about guitar, but I am a big fan of Tommy Emmanuel from Australia and Jesse Cook from Canada. As you can see, it’s a pretty short list. I do tend to feel overwhelmed by maestro musicians. Mr Costa is spectacular. These chords progressions are crazy complex. I don’t think I can ever be mentally prepared. Great comments as always. Thanks. 🤗
As a Brazilian, I can say with great happiness that Yamandu Costa really represents Brazilian musicality, he is an exceptional, virtuoso musician and represents good music today. What I tell every foreigner, whether North American or even from Europe, and around the world, is: don't listen to Brazilian pop! If you want to know Brazilian music, listen to the classics, listen to the music played in the 50s, 60s, 70s, because currently what is played in popular culture is nothing more than musical excrement. Discover names like Adoniran Barbosa, Pixinguinha, Djavan, Milton Nascimento, Tião Carreiro and Pardinho, Hermeto Pascoal, rhythms like Choro, Samba root, Maracatu, Baião, Vaneirão, Frevo... listen to a band called Spok Frevo, the guys are incredible!
I get the feeling that especially Guitar players often seem to "get lost" in their music, like nothing else exists in that moment. I don´t know many guitar players but Yamandu is one I definitly like to listen to, like the great Carlos Santana or my favorite Estas Tonne
Appreciate your insight and enthusiasm for this great artist’s music. Two favorites of mine that you might enjoy are Chegada and Choreco, a did-he-just-do-that? tribute to the great Baden Powell.
You can never live again the experience of listening to Yamandu for the first time. Luckily, you can relate to people doing that on the internet! 😂 I remember it being simply overwhelming and delightful at the same time!
This was fascinating! I had to pause several times to let my brain reboot. His skills are beyond my ability to keep up with the changes. Very impressive. Nice reaction!
Suite Amerindia is one by Yamandu Costa that moves me a lot, it's surreal, I know his work well but there's a specific video where he plays the guitar alone, I think everyone should have the chance to see this video at least once in their life.
In the Capital of Brazil, Brasilia, there is a place where musicians get together to play Chorinho. It is called Clube do Choro. Thank you for the reaction. I really enjoy your analyses. 🇧🇷❤️ * His ex wife also plays the guitar. I wonder if their two kids are going to be musicians too. I watched him playing in a theater and it was amazing.
O nome da peça já diz tudo, uma " loucura". Yamandu é perturbado do juízo, é um louco, um gênio, como ele temos poucos por aqui pelo Brasil, mas ele se supera 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😅🇧🇷
What Yamandu plays cannot be described as "old school" choro. If you want to know more about choro, check Henrique Wisenmann's videos about "introduction to choro". He is a pianist and his videos are english spoken, so you will not find problems with translation.
He is inhuman! The speed at which he plays his guitar!!!! Is this something that is actually a written piece, or is it all Improvised by him? Can he replicate it? Like you said it's insane and really throws a person off with overload! I feel your overload. Thanks for making it through this with another great breakdown and analysis.
Simply that: inhuman! In my reaction to Samba Pro Rapha, someone commented that certain sections are improvised, but he overall structure and certain sections are written down and standardised. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the virtuosic runs are improvised 🎶 I don't know what the best practices are for choro music though!
Sou conterrâneo do Grande Yamandu Costa....somos aqui de Passo Fundo...cidade do Rio Grande do Sul...Brasil....meu pai era acordeonista e violonista e tocou junto com o pai do Yamandu...Algacir Costa....excelente músico....
I love all your reaction. May be it will be interesting for you to react " zolushka (золушка) архиповский ( arhipovskiy) ". He plays only 3 cord musical instrument balalaika.
O 'Samba pro Rapha' não é exatamente um samba, e o 'Choro Loco' não é exatamente um choro.😂 Mas, ao mesmo tempo, são mesmo um samba e um choro! 😂😂😂 Acontece que Yamandu mistura tudo, com sua técnica absurda e sua criatividade maravilhosa, e imprime sua identidade estética e seu sentimento a tudo que sai dessas cordas. Ele transcende as formas tradicionais da nossa música brasileira, e faz uma música autoral. Claramente, ele dá continuidade ao trabalho de Raphael Rabello (O Rapha do 'Sambra pro Rapha') que 30 anos atrás estava revolucionando o violão brasileiro de forma extraordinária. ❤ Raphael (que Deus o tenha em Sua Luz de Amor e Paz) teve uma formação vinda do violão clássico e do Choro tradicional e desde muito jovem tocou com uma quantidade enorme de músicos brasileiros e estrangeiros, e absorveu influências do Jazz e do Flamenco (O mestre Paco de Lucia o considerava o maior músico do Brasil). Yamandu veio da música regional do sul do Brasil (região de influência musical da Argentina e Uruguai) e carrega esse DNA da música autêntica, com uma certa rusticidade na forma e com ritmos muito marcantes. Mas, ele sempre esteve aberto à música de todos os cantos do Brasil e do mundo. Agradeço a Mister Hairless por mais um ótimo vídeo, que dá ao ouvinte não iniciado a possibilidade de entender melhor a riqueza musical de Yamandu Costa. Recomendo a todos que gostam de Yamandu que acompanhem também esses 2 grandes músicos brasileiros: Alessandro Penezzi, violonista, e o bandolinista Hamilton de Holanda. Paz e Bem.
You should experience Yamandu’s music “Carinho” it’s something like “caress”. I strongly suggest you to listen and absorb the sensation that this music brings you before you analyse it. It made me cry beyond goosebumps. Outstanding!
you should react to him playing with Dominguinhos, a legendary accordion player. beautiful, beautiful music (and it also features other kind of rithms from a different region in brazil)
Sir Beauty Hair (kkkk) Se pra vc que é profissional fica difícil entender certas partes, imagine para mim, apenas ouvinte, mero mortal, que sempre sou surpreendido pelas "loucuras" dele, kkkkk É justamente o que mais gosto nele, a imprevisibilidade, nunca saber o que vem no minuto a seguir... Mais uma ótima reação sua ao nosso Rei das Sete cordas. Um abraço.
If you're that interested in brazilian music you'll love Samba em Prelúdio performed by Paulinho Nogueira. It's quite impressive. Great content. Cheers from Brasil
Yamandu is deeper immersed in your free style in strings and phrases form totally impressive and focus in chocks your emotions the minimalism pass away from here is unbelievably good watching him I loved it thanks for your appreciation about the legitimate Brazilian music if you know wish something more calm and melodic check out Pixinguinha, Baden Powell or Dilermando Reis it’s so good too
Yamandu is a rare case of talent and dedication working together. He started playing guitar very yound and practiced a lot. His technique and harmony are amazing.
You have to react to Raphael Rabelo, the one Yamandu wrote Samba pro Rapha to. Desvairada is where he shows off his speed, but Lamentos do Morro is also insane.
Raphael Rabello, Paulinho Nogueira e Dilermando Reis for nexts videos please!!!! Raphael Rabello is from Samba pro Rapha (Samba for Rapha), in this song, Yamandu used Rapha styles to compose the song.
Hello, thank you for unveiling Yamandu Costa's works of art. This is not for everyone. You're a great musician too. And I learn a lot from your reactions. Keep going and thank you very much!
Texas sunshine this morning! Sat on tailgate of my brother in law’s car and he played his guitar while my sister and I danced and sang! Gorgeous skies and lots of open fields where new little cows will be born in the Spring! Nothing like a guitar!!! All about moments in music! Right???
The guy takes it to another level. Your ability to understand what he was doing is amazing. I just feel like being hit by a bus, but somehow it's magical and good 😅
Great review. I love how you feel the complexity of the music. If I may so, I would recommend "Tareco" a completely diferent approuch from the virtuoso fast paced style and yet full of patterns and layers. A master piece
Amazingly thorough analisys, enjoyment and praise! You are a great reactor to music and I would like to see more. My suggestions would be Yamandu's concert in spain to which Paco de Lucia stand to applaud and Baden Powell concert in Paris, namely, his rendition of Chopin's Etude n°3 in E major. Baden Powell being another masterfull brazillian guitar player.
You have to listen to "Chamamé (feat. Cainã Cavalcante). Chamamé is a very famous rhythm from Argentina, he grew up in southern Brazil and had a lot of influence form south american music form that region. In his version with Cainã Cavalcante (a guitarist form northeastern Brazil) they create a very beautiful and colourful interpretation of this rhythm. He plays more freely and more relaxed when he's with other guitarrists, he doesn't care that much about perfection and you can see his pure soul come out in the form of music. I would highly recommend that you check this version out as well as "Entre o Céu e o Mar", both pieces were recorded in the same day
Hey fellow Hairless man. How's it doing sir?! I'm a fellow Brazilian too, but although I recognize yamandus talent, I'm not a fan. If you got tears coming from your eyes with the other piece from Yamandu, where he pays tribute to Rafael Rabello (rip), I think you should check a Norwegian band Called Ulver ( wolf in Norwegian). Check please an album called Kveldssanger. That's a 11 by 10 album. If you don't cry with this one, you are already dead or with depression. 😅😅😅 Cheers from Brazil. ❤🎉😊
Como eu havia comentado anteriormente, em outra postagem, o Choro / chorinho é outro gênero musical brasileiro, tão tradicional quanto o samba... Lindo de mais!❤
Sir Hairless Love your honest and educated opinion on various forms of music. If you love guitar have you ever listened to Tina.S playing Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. She is a French girl and only 15 years old. Also, another to be viewed is Dimash Ikanaide, this is done in a recording studio rather than live. Also, it is soft and features voice control rather than high-range belting. Love your work keep it up.
I think yamandu is definitely one of the most complete guitar players out there, technique is completely subordinate to his desire to express whatever he wishes to, if you think he goes a bit crazy here, you should see his older stuff lmao. Your comment about not seeing any guitarist like this did catch me though. You really should check out Paco de lucia for expressiveness and incredible skill, it's different because it's more contained and yet just as full as yamandu. And if you truly want to be taken on a complete emotional journey, i don't believe I've anyone as complete in sheer raw expression as Estas Tonne. His between fire and water at lsndshut will take you on near 14 minute journey that's going to leave you lost and dissociated from your surrounding reality. It's amazing. I really hope you check it out since you seem to be so open to feeling the emotions and music and not just talk about technique.
Oh for sure - I just don't have much exposure to guitarists! I have no doubt there are many others out there who are equally remarkable in their own right 🎶 Thanks for the recommendation of Paco de Lucia, he's been recommended before and is on my list!
@@SirHairless you should give estas tonne a listen as well, even if you don't make a video for him, you should try the song I suggested, I probably won't be able to hear your thoughts on it unless you think of making a discord server but regardless, I'd be glad to introduce you to his music and see how you feel about it on your own time.
@@SirHairless if you had a discord server you can still shares your thoughts on artists people might want to hear but you feel aren't asked about enough for a video or something like that, I was actually wondering if eventually you would start streaming and take live requests or something too. Would be cool, and you probably can only do it for so long before you get bigger and bigger and given the content you're creating, I think that is likely to happen, i randomly saw your video with a thousand something subs and now you're at 16k already, and it is well deserved, but yes that's the rationale behind my point, though you probably could still figure out a system for that, just something you could consider.
@@NoUsernamae Ahh I see! I'm not great with tech and not familiar with discord, but definitely something to consider for the future if there's enough interest - thanks! I've also thought about the live requests thing, but as it stands I have 0 free time - SH takes up a lot of time, especially when considering it's outside of my job, hobbies, other usual daily-goings. Still early stages as I only started this 4 months ago and still am getting into a routine/learning the best ways to do things But right now, my priority is regular TH-cam video uploads without compromising quality. All duly noted though, I appreciate it 👌
Você é corajoso! Parabéns! Fazer uma reação sobre o Yamandu, é pisar em ovos, é necessário ir além, transcender como músico. É um nível onde não existe mais uma caixa, o que o Yamandu toca, é fora do universo Musical que conhecemos! Gostei de sua Reação, alto nível também (too)
I've had the good fortune to have front-row seats in concerts for both Segovia and Montoya. The virtuosities of those artists was overwhelming. This, Yamandu, is nothing like that in the definition of classical music, but is equally, if not more amazing. I would call it classical with raw modern virtuosity. (Is that a contradiction in terms?) This is new to me, and I thank you for introducing new guitar music into my life. I hadn't heard everything, after all! Your clear explanations add much to the discovery.
Yamandu é um orgulho para nosso país. Sinto que ele fica incorporado, que a música o domina e ele vai lá e domina cada nota. É a perfeição. ❤ Temos grandes artistas, músicos de primeira.
EU ACHO QUE BAIXA UMA ENTIDADE NELE DE OUTRA GALÁXIA, ELE NEM OLHA PARA O VIOLÃO, AS VEZES TOCA DE OLHOS FECHADOS FAZENDO ESCALAS NA VELOCIDADE DA LUZ. REALMENTE ELE É UM LOUCO DIFERENCIADO! KKKK
Você é o primeiro que observei que entende profundamente de música;pois já vi vários comentários de músicos...mas que não pesquisam antes de analisar e que não tem a sua capacidade de percepção nos detalhes. Parabéns !🇧🇷
I would like you to react to the song Ana Terra by Yamandu Costa. It's a different nuance to it, it's a beautiful composition with a focus on melody and less on the virtuosity of scales performed with speed.
Dear Mr. Hairless, i would like to see you reacting the other brasilian guitarrist named Alessanfro Penezzi, which I consider that he have almost the same level of Yamandu
Very beautiful. ❤ There is another artist out there , his name is Marcin Patrzalek he plays classic music on the Guitar also you should check him out he is fantastic.
I'll get to him in the future for sure, he's been recommended by viewers to me a fair few times! He didn't win the members' poll vote for next new artist, but I'm definitely excited to hear his stuff 🎶 Luckily his videos don't appear as recommended to me in TH-cam so it's pretty easy to avoid the temptation in listening 😅
Check out this reaction next! th-cam.com/video/umeacSRlo38/w-d-xo.html
Please recap Unforgettable day by Dimash!!!
He hits D8 there (some people say it can even be D9)
And thank you for your videos!!!
Yamandu is the type of artist we use to control the ego of artists who think they just invented fire or the wheel.
What impresses me the most about Yamandu's playing is his ability to toy around with rythm of the phrasing while keeping true to the main melodic idea, all with impressive precision. This manner of decomposing music reminds me a bit of what Picasso did with shapes. Have a good Sunday!

Análise minuciosa e reação à altura. Obrigado pela alta qualidade do seu trabalho.

‘Sarara’ by Y. Costa is a must. He plays the guitar, he sings, he whistles - showing how he himself becomes music.
Exactle. Himself becomes music" en that song! Perfect description!

🇧🇷 Ele é simplesmente espetacular!!!
Sou conterrâneo do Grande Yamandu Costa....somos aqui de Passo Fundo...cidade do Rio Grande do Sul...Brasil....meu pai era acordeonista e violonista e tocou junto com o pai do Yamandu...Algacir Costa....excelente músico....
so nice to see you reacting to Yamandu! greetings from Brazil!
Yamandu dudaday! Follow him if you can. Hard to understand, easy to feel. Yamandu makes me very humble.
I love all your reaction. May be it will be interesting for you to react " zolushka (золушка) архиповский ( arhipovskiy) ". He plays only 3 cord musical instrument balalaika.
O 'Samba pro Rapha' não é exatamente um samba, e o 'Choro Loco' não é exatamente um choro.😂
Mas, ao mesmo tempo, são mesmo um samba e um choro! 😂😂😂
Acontece que Yamandu mistura tudo, com sua técnica absurda e sua criatividade maravilhosa, e imprime sua identidade estética e seu sentimento a tudo que sai dessas cordas.
Ele transcende as formas tradicionais da nossa música brasileira, e faz uma música autoral.
Claramente, ele dá continuidade ao trabalho de Raphael Rabello (O Rapha do 'Sambra pro Rapha') que 30 anos atrás estava revolucionando o violão brasileiro de forma extraordinária. ❤
Raphael (que Deus o tenha em Sua Luz de Amor e Paz) teve uma formação vinda do violão clássico e do Choro tradicional e desde muito jovem tocou com uma quantidade enorme de músicos brasileiros e estrangeiros, e absorveu influências do Jazz e do Flamenco (O mestre Paco de Lucia o considerava o maior músico do Brasil).
Yamandu veio da música regional do sul do Brasil (região de influência musical da Argentina e Uruguai) e carrega esse DNA da música autêntica, com uma certa rusticidade na forma e com ritmos muito marcantes. Mas, ele sempre esteve aberto à música de todos os cantos do Brasil e do mundo.
Agradeço a Mister Hairless por mais um ótimo vídeo, que dá ao ouvinte não iniciado a possibilidade de entender melhor a riqueza musical de Yamandu Costa.
Recomendo a todos que gostam de Yamandu que acompanhem também esses 2 grandes músicos brasileiros: Alessandro Penezzi, violonista, e o bandolinista Hamilton de Holanda.
Paz e Bem.
Amei sua reação e ensinamentos! Ouça a música Carinho do Yamandu que é maravilhosa! Abraços do Brasil🙏
I NEED MORE!
You should experience Yamandu’s music “Carinho” it’s something like “caress”. I strongly suggest you to listen and absorb the sensation that this music brings you before you analyse it. It made me cry beyond goosebumps. Outstanding!
It's on my list for the future - thanks!
Reaja ao Hermeto Pascoal também, monstro da música brasileira.
you should react to him playing with Dominguinhos, a legendary accordion player. beautiful, beautiful music (and it also features other kind of rithms from a different region in brazil)
Sir Beauty Hair (kkkk)
Se pra vc que é profissional fica difícil entender certas partes, imagine para mim, apenas ouvinte, mero mortal, que sempre sou surpreendido pelas "loucuras" dele, kkkkk
É justamente o que mais gosto nele, a imprevisibilidade, nunca saber o que vem no minuto a seguir...
Mais uma ótima reação sua ao nosso Rei das Sete cordas.
Um abraço.
If you're that interested in brazilian music you'll love Samba em Prelúdio performed by Paulinho Nogueira. It's quite impressive. Great content. Cheers from Brasil
i LOVE your reaction, but the analysis you do definitely earned a sub, thanks Sir Hairless!
I'm also a absolute fan of Yamandu
Thank you!
another great vídeo.
Yamandu is a unique person/musician, which is why it's great seing people react to him.
Yamandu is deeper immersed in your free style in strings and phrases form totally impressive and focus in chocks your emotions the minimalism pass away from here is unbelievably good watching him I loved it thanks for your appreciation about the legitimate Brazilian music if you know wish something more calm and melodic check out Pixinguinha, Baden Powell or Dilermando Reis it’s so good too
Choro Loco was dedicated to a Turkish guitarist named Chadas Ustuntas. Try to hear this guy too!
Yamandu tem o domínio completo desse instrumento, sou muito fã.
Brejeiro by Yamandu Costa would be a nice one to do next! Especially the video where he is wearing a white t-shirt
Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Yamandu is a rare case of talent and dedication working together. He started playing guitar very yound and practiced a lot. His technique and harmony are amazing.
Suas análises são incríveis!
Thank you!
Thanks to react/analyze Yamandu Costa 🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️
He’s just amazing.
Suas expressões faciais são incríveis e conseguem transmitir a emoção da música. 😊
You have to react to Raphael Rabelo, the one Yamandu wrote Samba pro Rapha to. Desvairada is where he shows off his speed, but Lamentos do Morro is also insane.
Always nice and instructive !
Hello you may want to see yamandu with his wife who is a classical guitarrist
Raphael Rabello, Paulinho Nogueira e Dilermando Reis for nexts videos please!!!! Raphael Rabello is from Samba pro Rapha (Samba for Rapha), in this song, Yamandu used Rapha styles to compose the song.
Ears, brain, body and heart. Você juntou tudo, entendeu tudo. Bem vindo à música brasileira.
Hello, thank you for unveiling Yamandu Costa's works of art. This is not for everyone. You're a great musician too. And I learn a lot from your reactions. Keep going and thank you very much!
Thanks 😊
Texas sunshine this morning! Sat on tailgate of my brother in law’s car and he played his guitar while my sister and I danced and sang! Gorgeous skies and lots of open fields where new little cows will be born in the Spring! Nothing like a guitar!!! All about moments in music! Right???
The guy takes it to another level. Your ability to understand what he was doing is amazing. I just feel like being hit by a bus, but somehow it's magical and good 😅
Great review. I love how you feel the complexity of the music. If I may so, I would recommend "Tareco" a completely diferent approuch from the virtuoso fast paced style and yet full of patterns and layers. A master piece
Amazingly thorough analisys, enjoyment and praise! You are a great reactor to music and I would like to see more. My suggestions would be Yamandu's concert in spain to which Paco de Lucia stand to applaud and Baden Powell concert in Paris, namely, his rendition of Chopin's Etude n°3 in E major. Baden Powell being another masterfull brazillian guitar player.
🥰🥰🥰 love Yamandu
If one day you wanna listen the style that he started with his own composition, you can watch "Sarará".
Nice reaction man!
Thanks for the recommendation!
You have to listen to "Chamamé (feat. Cainã Cavalcante).
Chamamé is a very famous rhythm from Argentina, he grew up in southern Brazil and had a lot of influence form south american music form that region. In his version with Cainã Cavalcante (a guitarist form northeastern Brazil) they create a very beautiful and colourful interpretation of this rhythm. He plays more freely and more relaxed when he's with other guitarrists, he doesn't care that much about perfection and you can see his pure soul come out in the form of music. I would highly recommend that you check this version out as well as "Entre o Céu e o Mar", both pieces were recorded in the same day
Hey fellow Hairless man. How's it doing sir?! I'm a fellow Brazilian too, but although I recognize yamandus talent, I'm not a fan. If you got tears coming from your eyes with the other piece from Yamandu, where he pays tribute to Rafael Rabello (rip), I think you should check a Norwegian band Called Ulver ( wolf in Norwegian). Check please an album called Kveldssanger. That's a 11 by 10 album. If you don't cry with this one, you are already dead or with depression. 😅😅😅 Cheers from Brazil. ❤🎉😊
🎸🎸 .. I am very much looking forward to your discovery of Stevie Ray Vaughan ((.. Blues guitar Master..)) 🎸🎸
Como eu havia comentado anteriormente, em outra postagem, o Choro / chorinho é outro gênero musical brasileiro, tão tradicional quanto o samba... Lindo de mais!❤
Amazing reaction! Thank you💚💛
Sir Hairless Love your honest and educated opinion on various forms of music. If you love guitar have you ever listened to Tina.S playing Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. She is a French girl
and only 15 years old. Also, another to be viewed is Dimash Ikanaide, this is done in a recording studio rather than live. Also, it is soft and features voice control rather than high-range belting.
Love your work keep it up.
Choro is a three part song form. Often contrasting themes and exuberant sections of virtuosic expression. It is progressive.
I think yamandu is definitely one of the most complete guitar players out there, technique is completely subordinate to his desire to express whatever he wishes to, if you think he goes a bit crazy here, you should see his older stuff lmao.
Your comment about not seeing any guitarist like this did catch me though. You really should check out Paco de lucia for expressiveness and incredible skill, it's different because it's more contained and yet just as full as yamandu.
And if you truly want to be taken on a complete emotional journey, i don't believe I've anyone as complete in sheer raw expression as Estas Tonne. His between fire and water at lsndshut will take you on near 14 minute journey that's going to leave you lost and dissociated from your surrounding reality. It's amazing. I really hope you check it out since you seem to be so open to feeling the emotions and music and not just talk about technique.
Oh for sure - I just don't have much exposure to guitarists! I have no doubt there are many others out there who are equally remarkable in their own right 🎶 Thanks for the recommendation of Paco de Lucia, he's been recommended before and is on my list!
@@SirHairless you should give estas tonne a listen as well, even if you don't make a video for him, you should try the song I suggested, I probably won't be able to hear your thoughts on it unless you think of making a discord server but regardless, I'd be glad to introduce you to his music and see how you feel about it on your own time.
@@NoUsernamae Thanks for the recommendation! I noted him Estas down.
What does your comment about discord mean?
@@SirHairless if you had a discord server you can still shares your thoughts on artists people might want to hear but you feel aren't asked about enough for a video or something like that, I was actually wondering if eventually you would start streaming and take live requests or something too. Would be cool, and you probably can only do it for so long before you get bigger and bigger and given the content you're creating, I think that is likely to happen, i randomly saw your video with a thousand something subs and now you're at 16k already, and it is well deserved, but yes that's the rationale behind my point, though you probably could still figure out a system for that, just something you could consider.
@@NoUsernamae Ahh I see! I'm not great with tech and not familiar with discord, but definitely something to consider for the future if there's enough interest - thanks!
I've also thought about the live requests thing, but as it stands I have 0 free time - SH takes up a lot of time, especially when considering it's outside of my job, hobbies, other usual daily-goings. Still early stages as I only started this 4 months ago and still am getting into a routine/learning the best ways to do things But right now, my priority is regular TH-cam video uploads without compromising quality.
All duly noted though, I appreciate it 👌
hahaaa xD mesmerized!
Você é corajoso! Parabéns! Fazer uma reação sobre o Yamandu, é pisar em ovos, é necessário ir além, transcender como músico. É um nível onde não existe mais uma caixa, o que o Yamandu toca, é fora do universo Musical que conhecemos! Gostei de sua Reação, alto nível também (too)
I've had the good fortune to have front-row seats in concerts for both Segovia and Montoya. The virtuosities of those artists was overwhelming. This, Yamandu, is nothing like that in the definition of classical music, but is equally, if not more amazing. I would call it classical with raw modern virtuosity. (Is that a contradiction in terms?) This is new to me, and I thank you for introducing new guitar music into my life. I hadn't heard everything, after all! Your clear explanations add much to the discovery.
Yamandu é um orgulho para nosso país.
Sinto que ele fica incorporado, que a música o domina e ele vai lá e domina cada nota.
É a perfeição. ❤
Temos grandes artistas, músicos de primeira.
EU ACHO QUE BAIXA UMA ENTIDADE NELE DE OUTRA GALÁXIA, ELE NEM OLHA PARA O VIOLÃO, AS VEZES TOCA DE OLHOS FECHADOS FAZENDO ESCALAS NA VELOCIDADE DA LUZ. REALMENTE ELE É UM LOUCO DIFERENCIADO! KKKK
Você é o primeiro que observei que entende profundamente de música;pois já vi vários comentários de músicos...mas que não pesquisam antes de analisar e que não tem a sua capacidade de percepção nos detalhes. Parabéns !🇧🇷
Thank you so much! 🙏
I'm from Brazil and I love yamandú the best performance
I would like you to react to the song Ana Terra by Yamandu Costa. It's a different nuance to it, it's a beautiful composition with a focus on melody and less on the virtuosity of scales performed with speed.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've added it to my list
Dear Mr. Hairless, i would like to see you reacting the other brasilian guitarrist named Alessanfro Penezzi, which I consider that he have almost the same level of Yamandu
Very beautiful. ❤ There is another artist out there , his name is Marcin Patrzalek he plays classic music on the Guitar also you should check him out he is fantastic.
I'll get to him in the future for sure, he's been recommended by viewers to me a fair few times! He didn't win the members' poll vote for next new artist, but I'm definitely excited to hear his stuff 🎶 Luckily his videos don't appear as recommended to me in TH-cam so it's pretty easy to avoid the temptation in listening 😅
