Yamandu Costa, solo recital - Concert
Date: April 21, 2012, 08:00 PM
Location:
Length: 2 hours
“...astonishing, mesmerizing display of genius ttechnique.”
(The Advertiser, Australia)
At 29, Yamandú Costa is already considered one of the greatest geniuses of Brazilian music. A virtuosic guitar player, composer and arranger, Yamandú’s impressive and explosive live performance highlights a deep intimacy with the guitar switching between samba, choro and tango with blistering dexterity.
Yamandú Costa was born in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where he began his guitar studies with his father Algacir Costa when he was 7 years old. Later, he perfected his technique with Lúcio Yanel, Argentine virtuoso who was then settled in Brazil.
Until the age of 15, Yamandú´s only music school was the folk music from the south of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. When he was 17, he played for the first time in São Paulo at "Circuito Cultural Banco do Brasil" and from then on he was recognized as one of the most greatest geniuses of Brazilian music of all times.
Yamandú’s impressive performances show the deep intimacy between Yamandu and his guitar. He fully deserves his beautiful name which in "tupi-guarani," the native language of Brazilian Indians, means "the precursor of the waters of the world."
