I am very proud of my Uncle- Erundi & my Dad- Antenor, for their wonderful musical talent. I miss them deeply. They left a wonderful & beautiful legacy of their ability to play guitars with love for the music they heard & practiced 8-10 hrs a day to become the best virtuoso's they could be. I thank everyone that has loved them & their music, and still love them now.
I was fortunate to have been able to see them play on stage in my hometown of Seattle as a young adult. My mother loved them and I grew up listening to their records and was entralled to hear them in person. They are as fresh today as I remember them as a child.
Dear Georgiana--I was a close friend of Nato Lima"s and was with him when he was in hospice the day before he died. Me and his power of attorney were able to go to Local 802 (the musicians union) and pay his membership dues, thus restoring his membership. He died the very next day, and his wife Michiko was able to collect the union death benefit. I miss your uncle very much--we were very good friends.
I saw them in concert in the mid-sixties. I have seen many top level guitar concerts, but I have NEVER heard a more beautiful tone than Nato Lima drew from his Rubio that evening. The album, "Casually Classic", was daring, and in fact ground breaking, when it was released by RCA. Nato Lima had few (if any!) peers as a technician, plus he played with lush, exquisite emotion. His brother, as well, was a super sensitive, first rate guitarist. This duo is unique in guitar music history.
Por uno de los comentarios me di cuenta de que ya no existen LOS INDIOS TABAJARAS, pero que Dios los corone de Gloria y los inmortalice tocando para todos en vez de las tales trompetas y serán eternamente felices
Este tipo de musica de estos gigantes es digna de concierto para ños que si saben de musica y la aprecien .Se que todos los que los siguen son conocedores de la buena música.Un saludo a todos los seguidores y mis felicitaciones
my mother loved this duo. i found out that they would be giving a concert in seattle so i bought tickets for my parents. unfortunately my dad had to work and couldn't go so i was the lucky one who got to see them in concert with my mom. they were truly wonderful. thank you for sharing this video. they played this piece in concert.
Esta apresentação foi no Canadá em princípios dos anos sessenta. Os espectadores não acreditaram que iriam assistir dois indígenas brasileiros tocando música clássica ao violão. Naquela época, a maioria dos gringos pensava que a capital do Brasil era Buenos Aires.
No se que fibras interiores tocan en el sentimiento o en el alma o es que conmueven por lograr ese grado de virtuosidad en todo caso me han hecho llorar
this two brothers from the Forrest have the abillity to leave people speechless with their Wonderfull music Full of thechnics . there will be no one els that can play the guitar like this brothers
Incredibly beautiful music played by two masters. I was fortunate enough to see Nato perform with his wife in Nashville many, many years ago. I was in awe of the man's talent on the guitar.
(2 years ago) One of the (many, MANY!) things I love about these two is that, when they adapt the classics to their instruments, they maintain the musical integrity of the original material to an astonishing degree. This Chopin waltz is a perfect example: The melody player is playing exactly what the right hand would be playing on piano in the original version; the "rhythm" player (I am reluctant to refer to him that way, as it can be seen as dismissive, and he is a virtuoso in his own right) is playing Chopin's harmonies verbatim, and only changing the voicings when forced to by the idiomatic demands of his instrument. This is Great Stuff. (1 year ago) Such brilliance... and I'm referring to Chopin. Such sensitive virtuosity... and now I'm referring to the brothers. This is an absolutely faithful two-guitar adaptation of the Chopin piano piece. This is effortless Beauty... True Beauty should always be effortless. (Perhaps "Genius is pain,"--John Lennon, but "Beauty" should be both inspired, and, as normal breathing, respired... effortlessly.)
Qué colección tan increíble tengo ahora con éstos MAESTROS DE LA GUITARRA, clásicos a la perfección y belleza. Mi Diosito los tenga en el mejor puesto Celestial.
Georgiana Percia I am very proud of my Uncle- Erundi & my Dad- Antenor, for their wonderful musical talent. I miss them deeply. They left a wonderful & beautiful legacy of their ability to play guitars with love for the music they heard & practiced 8-10 hrs a day to become the best virtuoso's they could be. I thank everyone that has loved them & their music, and still love them now. My Dad played, Over the Rainbow for me to sleep. Now I know why I also appreciate rainbows so much. Whenever one appears remind me of him.
I heard someone has the rights to there video recordings and won't release them ! There are old Carson shows that still exist with them and Tony Bennett but they are not making them available !
Cuando, en los años 60, vi un disco de *Los Indios🎤Tabajaras* en la ventana, no veía la hora de acumular el dinero necesario para comprarlo y escucharlo en casa. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wZhDrNOfwEI.html *LOVE ME TENDER* canción de guitarra al estilo de *Elvis🎸Presley*
Hay que reconocer que, en su debut a principios de la década de 1960, *Los Indios🎵Tabajaras* encantaron al mundo entero con sus melodiosas guitarras. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gqyMBAuLVHY.html *🤠BONANZA🤠* canción de guitarra al estilo de *Al🎸Caiola*
@191747 It is a shame that the books on classical guitarists never mention them, probably because the majority of their albums were considered easy listening/pop. The reason they were eventually dropped by RCA was because in the mid 80s, radio phased out the "easy listening" format...and ALL the record labels dropped the artists whose albums were in this category. Today, this music is considered "exotica"...but Los Indios were playing "World Music" before there was even a name for it!
@giscone Not so--I recommend their last CD: "Notable Notes" where they play their unique world premiere of Paganini's Moto Perpetuo, Op. 11 as well as "Hora Staccato"; "Allegro Guisto; "Fantazie Impromptu", and Tais (Meditation) what makes their transcriptions unique is that the solo guitar is tuned a whole step higher and has extra treble frets and a Cello string for the bass 6th string as a low "A". Using this system they played classical piano pieces a guitar couldn't come close to playing!
There should be tons of video of them playing live. They were on the Tonite Show 38 times. Who wants music by Drake and Beyonce when you have real music like Los Indios Tabajaras !
@perseus07 Actually, they did study classical guitar professionally in Mexico after they had gotten out of the Brazilian Army. It was while in the Army that the learned to read and write, speak the Portugese language, wear clothes...and eat regular food...as incredible as this sounds! Nato Lima himself told me this!
@leadadde It is my understanding that there is a degree of truth to the brothers finding a guitar, but the story has been fictionalized as well. Somewhere there is an interview with Nato, and he speaks of this. Obviously, the brothers later must have had some deep musical experiences, and one would assume, training, to play the classical rep. as they did. As I recall, they were not wealthy, and life was very difficult for them as children, and they came from a more or less tribal background.
Infelizmente suas músicas não tocaram no Brasil, por isso o povo brasileiro não os conhece. Eu vim saber da existência deles o ano passado, e sou músico desde os treze anos, hoje tenho cinquenta e um anos.
Decades ago, my maestro (who knew them) told me that before Nato had custom instruments he used straightened-out eye-hooks screwed into the rosette area to make floating frets.
que incrédulos comentarios !! a mi se me hace mas sorprendente que los blancos hallan tenido músicos como chopin ,Mozart, etc, cuando solo tienen mierda en la cabeza, y se la han pasado destruyendo este mundo y todos los que tocan , empezando por america, nuestra cultura siempre ha sido mas avanzada que los blancos, eso y mas es lo que somos, ustedes son los que sorprenden al hacer cosas que no tienen explicación , nosotros si tenemos explicación de lo que somos
@Pickinbuddy They aren't, strictly speaking, classical guitarists. The are playing classical guitars but people like Segovia, Bream, Williams would play most of Los Indios' music on one guitar and you wouldn't miss the other guitar. Also, the one playing melody is using a flat pick, an embarrassment to any true classical guitarist. They could no more play Sor, Guiliani, or Tarrega than they could flap their arms and fly. All that being said, they play beautiful music, just not "classical".
