Renato, I love your video of the Garoto piece. I'm so glad you're back to your serious guitar studies.
Over the last 15 years approximately, there's been a wonderful renaissance of Brazilian guitar music, with a great rediscovery of its own history and diversity far beyond bossa nova. Although this music has connections to jazz, folk, and even popular song, I think its strongest connection is to classical guitar simply by virtue of using the same instrument and technique, as well as by its complexity and the discipline required to master it. I myself can't play any of it (yet), but I've learned songs by Toninho Horta and Joao Bosco. Although they're just song accompaniments, they're still quite challenging nonetheless. I should mention I also listen to and love a wide variety of Brazilian music. Keep up the great work. Um abraco. Bruce

Thanks for the gentle words. I just would like to say that I don't work as performer indeed, my work have been teaching acoustic guitar on brazilian style over last 18 years. And I love do this. In contrast what you said, here in Brazil the people seems to like fewer and fewer of this music style. I can feel it on my own skin when a student tells me that he never listened music of Tom Jobim, João Gilberto and etc. What a hell! What is happening here? Most of people only knows what appears on low quality Tv shows. This was one more of the reasons why I have start learn English. Later on I want start teaching by online classes to people of other countries. But I should improve my speaking and listening before this. I'm glad to know that you are playing songs of Toninho Horta and João Bosco. They are fine musicians and composers. In my site you can find some transcriptions of João Bosco's guitar accompaniment. Here the links: http://www.renatocandro.com/arquivos...nhadepasse.pdf http://www.renatocandro.com/arquivos...ncodacuica.pdf http://www.renatocandro.com/arquivostemp/corsario.pdf http://www.renatocandro.com/arquivos...sericordia.pdf http://www.renatocandro.com/arquivostemp/odileodila.pdf I hope you enjoy. Hugs, Renato.

Costa
I was only aware of Yamandu just this year after viewing a favorite of a subscription on youtube. His amazing talent blew me away and I even posted a clip on facebook but got no likes or comments. Most of my friends are musicians...go figure!

Yamandu Costa is one of the best classical guitar players in the world. I like some others not so virtuoso such as Jorge Ben Jor, Toquinho, Joao Bosco etc... Unfortunately today Brazilian music is a little far from that golden bossa nova age.

I just stumbled across a player named Dilermando Reis about a year ago. He composed the first piece, the second was written by a great Argentian composer, Abel Fleury
http://youtu.be/N6FMDM7R5rQ http://youtu.be/bhw9UOiJ-NY Both songs quickly became part of my set list. Incredible stuff.

Luis!
No mention of Luis Bonfa, even in the longer lists here? He's my favorite, considering he was doing it all a decade or two before almost anyone else (at least at the higher levels.) There's at least 30 Youtubes of him. Be sure to catch where he's performing "Tenderly" live on the Michael Douglas Show (1960s.) Of course, Luis played real Brazilian music also.

I'm glad to see so much love for Brazilian guitar here. It's a genre, or perhaps rather a bouquet of genres, that has a lot to say in conversation with classical guitar.
Renato, thanks so much for the great transcriptions. I'm enjoying your website very much. I know what you mean about the younger generation in Brazil. The renaissance I referred to is mostly among the artists, not the public. Bossa Nova, Musica Popular Brasileira, and the genres that came before them, as you no doubt well remember, used to be popular music sustained financially by record sales, concerts, and radio airplay. Today they are art music maintained by educational institutions, government grants, and small cult followings. It's a lot like jazz or classical guitar, isn't it? These genres are commercially very small, but artistically they're as vital as ever, or perhaps more so than ever. So it's teachers like you that keep this great music alive to enrich future generations.

I LOVE this sot of music, but have not yet learned to play very much of it. Learning some of it from music/tablature has sometimes been a challenge for me - figuring out some of details of the timings from the printed music is tough for me sometimes (and mostly I just have to listen to the music a lot and try to get the rhythms into my head that way).
I used to play How Insensitive. It was one of my favorite things to play, though I let it sit unplayed for too long at one point while working on other things and I got to the point where I would pretty much need to relearn it now. I LOVE Jobim's music. Some of Jobim's music was quite popular in the U.S. when I was a kid in the 60's (well, he was popular in our house anyway). One of the pieces I really want to learn at some point is Meditation - just a wonderful piece! It is sad to hear that this sort of music is becoming less well-known in Brazil. It seems almost inconceivable that this could happen! Incidentally, I am also very fond of some of the other music from South American. For example, I love Evocation (by Merlin, an Argentinian guitarist/composer): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA7ATcBj8LQ

While we're at it, Marcus Tardelli kills:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOkhZGBGGVA And no, it's not just all technical flash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDHN-fDHmjs Hard to believe this guy only has one record out, and he had to borrow a decent guitar to make it.
