Brejeiro is a piano piece with more than 100 years. The music style is Choro. Yamandu is alredy a legend. And this old video is from his "punk" days. Today, he plays so clean and so so beatifull.
Been following Yamandu for years. He's Brazilian. Disturbingly great. That is a very old video. The stuff he does now is absolutely world class. He's a mutant, and has some of the best facial expressions of any guitar player. He needs to be world famous, if he is not already.
He's been famous for a long time. Unfortunately (and better for him so it's cool) he does much more shows outside Brazil, he was touring Asia, Japan, Europe, he's very appreciated in Spain, France, Portugal, even Russia. When in Spain, Paco de Lucia, the man himself, went to see Yamandú Live and stood up to applaud him.
@@valoiscireno Paco is my favourite guitarist, 5 or 6 years ago started to listen Yamandú, his playing for me was like a painting, with the colours of Brasil flag on it, just like Paco painting with Spain colors, then just found out that video of him standing and aplaudding Yamandú in a concert. It was a magical moment when i found myself connected to masters of that level.
Disturbingly great.....Marvelous comment !! I´m gonna steal it from you when talking to my students about this.......mutant ( sorry to steal your words TWICE but you used the words I couldn´t find about him ) . Thanks from Argentina
When you go to spain to play guitar and Paco the Lucia goes to your concert, it means you're something else. Even more if Paco himself stood up to applaud him after he finished his concert. This guy is an anomaly.
Spanish guitarrists every admired the brazilian school, have a video that Paco refuses to play with Raphael Rabello due to lack of repertoire, knowladge to aply brazilian harmony, and lack of command in 7-string guitar. 🤔
@@The12345nikolasshame paco did that, he probably could pick it up in a week, but he felt bad having to learn stuff for some reason. Thankfully he learned about music theory later in his life, but it's a shame he was afraid of it for such a long time. He didn't actually had big problems with it, as far as I can tell it was all a mental thing.
@@VeteranVandal Well, I refer to this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8xfnNm575HU.htmlsi=jZ4lCpnEyBKo88It Maybe I expressed myself wrong, I didn't mean to say that Paco didn't have some knowledge of harmony, I meant to say that he wouldn't know how to play Brazilian music due to a lack of knowledge of harmony applied to Brazilian music, in addition to the different techniques, Paco is a legend of the Spanish guitar. It would be like asking a classical violinist to play Fingerstiyle with those drums on the guitar. Spanish guitar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fomb4YZC8x8.html Brazilian guitar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gsl2Q6mJWOo.html See that they are completely different forms of musical construction.
This genre is called 'Choro', that evolved of 'Maxixe' (XIX brazilian waltz), is linked with melodic Samba creation (Samba have more than one origin), maybe Choro could be is for Samba like Ragtime is for Jazz 🤔. Brazilian guitar is realy a authentic school with unique way to play and think harmony, it has as mush solidty as Flamenco, but it is more unknown, like a hidden pearl. I invite you to discover it.
@@DoogieH92 There is a wonderful long utube of Yamandu playing with a very elderly and unlikely looking piano accordionist. Who on his instrument, is Yamadus equal. Very beautiful all the way through.
Yamandu is just one of the most unreal artists, if you haven't had the chance watch him performing "Samba pro Rapha". I would also recommend checking out the episode with Yamandu Costa of "Um Cafe la em Casa" or "Coffee and Jazz".
@@henriquetorresreganelli2020 Yes. Also, " Brejeiro" is a song composed by " Ernesto nazareth. Let's say is " the Chorinho father" which is a music genre in Brazilian's culture.
Yamandú is a genius virtuoso of seven strings guitar, most people don't make 1% of ideia how important he's to brazilian guitar and world guitar. Long time playing being a such guitarrist
When you're young and start learning something, you just want to be better than everybody else. When you get older and really passionate about something you just wanna feel small and amazed by everyone else. I just love that somewhere in the world there is always someone influenced by different roots who shows you something that you don't even though it was possible and gives us all that good feeling and funny face with almost crying eyes of complete amazingness and inspiration.
Awesome Brazilian musician, the music is a guitar version of a classic piano piece by Ernesto Nazareth (1863-1934) in a ballroom dance genre called Maxixe . You can find the original notation and some guitar versions in the web, i you like. Kudos!
Michael, you need to react to his more recent body of work. As he got older, his playing got a lot calmer and (in my opinion) cleaner, so its even better.
You MUST watch Djavan! There's a live performance of him on David Sanborn's Sunday Night playing 'Asa' with Sanborn himself and legends as Hiram Bullock and Marcus Miller (among others) that's simply brilliant. A brazilian treasure!
Esse vídeo dele é muito antigo, pega algum vídeo dele mais recente, ai você vai ver o absurdo que esse cara toca. Ele é como um bom vinho, cada dia que passa fica melhor e melhor! Simplesmente um gênio entre os mortais!
Love it when my favorite guitar teacher introduces me to new awesome musicians. That shave took 10 years off you by the way. Love you Michael, keep up the awesome content.
I love you Mike.. you start with a video of Yamandu absolutely destroying that guitar peace effortlessly and then you attempt to dissect gifted genius.. ❤
Rolando Boldrin, viola player, singer, actor, wonderful storyteller, is looking entranced at Yamandu's art (Yamandu is young in this video). Rolando Boldrin had this wonderful program on Brazilian musical culture (He passed away at the end of 2022, aged 86).
Don't be sad, you would have to be born in Brazil to understand this, it's chorinho, a happy and very old rhythm here, but thanks for sharing it with us, hugs.
Hey I'm from Brasil and from the same state as him. Seen him live twice. A beast! A force of nature AND technique! Thank you for this! From another brazilian subscriber
Thanks for reacting to traditional Brazilian music. Although this is an old video, Yamandu turn out to be one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
Hey Mike! Now THAT was unexpected! I´ve been following your channel for a while now - and loving it btw - but I didn´t expect to see Yamandu in here! I´m from Brazil and he´s my all time favorite nylon GOAT (alright alright, just a tad below Paco). I´ve actually come to buy a 7 string nylon a couples of times in my life because of him, but it´s such an extreme change in technique (coming from electric), that I eventually sold them. Great content as always, keep it up! Love the channel, cheers!
And the song he’s performing, as you know, is called “Brejeiro”. It was composed by Ernesto Nazareth in 1893. Check this song being performed by Raphael Rabello. No regrets.
O Yamandú é um grande violonista.Interessante notar que seu violão tem 7 cordas,comum no estilo "chorinho".Se não estou enganado,esse instrumento tem uma herança russa.Muito legal o react ,ja deixei meu like😊
Tem uma série do Yamandu, pelo canal Brasil se não me engano. São uns 6 episódios dele viajando pra lugares e países tentando encontrar essa herança e origens do 7 cordas. Não assisti todo e faz tempo, mas vale a pena procurar
I watched a Yamandu show at Fino da Bossa in Leblon sitting extremely close to him. Truly a monster. It was a long time ago but I recall as one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Dude, loved your react. You don't try to say something like: "it's a lot of notes". You just enjoyed it and that's music and what a real musician should does. ❤. You should check out Hamilton de Holanda. Cheers.
I love those samba's syncope. Professor, you should listen to "Lamentos do Morro" played by Yamandu Costa. Beautifil early ages of samba played by this guitarrist (and Ari Colares, Noa Stroeter e João Fideles)
You should really dig deeper into Yamandu content, Michael. When you consider technique, dynamics and feel, I think there's no better guitarist alive. He is a monster. And there much better displays of him online that you can find (although this version of brejeiro on guitar is amazing).
If you liked this performance then you will definitely like "John Butler - Ocean, live at Sydney Opera House", the old one, from early 2000s, where he plays the 12-string guitar. That performance is absolutely phenomenal, and at the same time is very easy to listen.
Have to say...Jesus can't help to uderstand yamandu's moves 😀 This was in a brazilian TV show presented by Rolando Boldrin, which was the mais supporter for real brazilian music...sad that he passed way last year
Wow! I've waited years for u to take a look at yamandus playing! So glad u did it! :) u should take a look at his "samba pro Rapha" probably my favorite song on guitar ever and one of The hardest
im not impressed by his skill, but by his style. i wish he would play slower so we could enjoy it too. seems like it might a groovy song,, but the trains going by too fast to read the graffitti
