    In this #worldwednesday episode of #thedailydoug, I'm taking a look at music by Brazilian guitarist/composer Yamandu Costa. This music comes to us via recommendation today by Guest DJ Marcos. We're listening to Lapa Hora Zero, Samba Pro Rapha, and Carinho. I love these sounds, both for their compositional ingenuity and for the expert playing by Yamandu. I hope you enjoy!

      Marcos, vê mandou bem. Yamandu, e Raphael, não são desse mundo. Eu acho que a racionalidade não consegue explicar o que é o domínio que esses caras têm sobre o instrumento. É um negócio q acho não haver explicação. Porque o "simples" estudo e prática de um ofício como esse não levaria , para mais de 99.99% dos mortais, a um nível de 20% de execução que esses caras têm. Eu acho um negócio sobrenatural. Temos grandes tesouros. Egberto, Dominguinhos, Assad, Abreu...

      I just discovered it about 2 weeks ago. Some of the most amazing female vocals, completely different than what I would have thought it would be: Umas e outras and a few works of quarteto em cy. Not all of the latter I find that interesting, often when they sound like the first band, but some of the music they put out before them like in 1964 is amazing as well.

    Once, when waiting for a plane in a quiet seating area of Porto Alegre airport, Yamandu came in and sat in front of me, opened his guitar case and then played a beautiful chorinho for about twenty minutes right in front of me as he waited for his plane. We didn't exchange a word. We looked at each other. No words. A perfect moment. Thank you (de coração), Yamandu

    @marviosantos ปีที่แล้ว +311

    Oh my God Doug! I am so glad you got to listen to Yamandu! He is a monster player, but never mind that! He is an amazing composer!
    That "line" going diagonally across his guitar is a "substitute" for "dot inlays" which usually mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th, Etc.. Frets on the guitar. Yamandu doesn't need them, the dude barely even looks at his guitar while playing. When this Brazilian luthier made this guitar for him he (the luthier) wanted to include fret markers, Yamandu told him to just make it pretty if he absolutely had to. That diagonal inlay is what the luthier came up with! :)
    The first song was a very specific type of Samba, it's called "Chorinho", literally "Crying" in English. It's a type of samba from the 1910's - 1930's which in the past 10 years or so has seen a resurgence in Brazil. I consider "Chorinho" truly Brazilian classical music. Our venerable Villa Lobos wrote many himself. You should get it right from the horse's mouth however. Ernesto Nazare was at the ground level when chorinho is concerned, much like Yamandu he did not have any formal training, I can't even wrap my head around how he wrote this stuff! A good primer is "Brejeiro", in English "Swamp". Yamandu plays this piece beautifully!
    Check it out:
    th-cam.com/video/eyQhTsbiY-g/w-d-xo.html
    Another great chorinho (they are all great) by Ernesto is "Odeon":

      In 1832, Louis Panormo built an instrument very close to what we know today as a classical guitar, although smaller and with a more accentuated waist. In 1859, Spanish luthier Antonio de Torres Jurado created the instrument that currently defines its history, having become the classical guitar. Chopin died in Paris at the age of 39 of tuberculosis. Please look up Andrès Segovia.

    Yamandu is likely the best current acoustic guitarist I know. When I discovered he was from Brazil I was surprised.

    This guy is the best guitarist period! My friend showed me him years ago. (Its a capo) but he sets his odd sometimes to pull off even more unique stuff. I love metal, and Vai and Joe, but this guy is truly from another planet. I got to hear all his stuff many times.

    It's amazing to see someone discovering Brazilian music. The circle of fifths, the modal borrowings, the voicings, this type of stuff is what samba, choro, baião and bossa nova is all about! Non-brazilians find it intricate (and it actually is) but this approach to harmony is how we learn down here! I think all musicians should give brazilian music a listen, it's beautiful and rich. And of course, Yamandu is a master!

    Doug, it was a pleasure watching your enjoyment of this great artist
    I discovered Yamandu's music years ago, and have been lucky enough to see him in NYC since his first featured appearance in 2012. His music nourishes the soul on the deepest levels, with its virtuosity, soul and humanity... and a lot of playfulness too.
    O Grande Yamandu, beijado por Deus...
