Brazilian Guitarists Are Built Different - Yamandu Costa Reaction

[@guitarcody9]

Are Brazilian guitarists build different?

[@caballero75RS]

React to Luiz Bonfá. (Batucada, Sambolero, Tenderly)

[@mabafu]

Come on... at least write his name right... (dislike)

[@tiago58]

You should listen to Alessandro Penezzi, Marcus Tardelli, Rogério Caetano, Gian Correa and many others, do a research.

[@docdoc]

No. All human

[@thomashwang9375]

Yamandu Costa suffered on his childhood, his father was extra hiper exigent took Yamandu out from school and made he study 12h everyday, so , basically his life was devoted for acoustic guitar., Anyway he is a legend creative, and defender of Brazilian music,,,,. Proud to be brazillian

[@iuri4636]

Grande músico, grande brasileiro. Yamandu me faz ter orgulho de ser brasileiro.

[@pipmk941]

Yamandu stopped going to school when he was 10 to focus 100% on guitar. His dad, who was also a musician, let him skip school, but told Yamandu that he had to REALLY focus on his guitar studies if he wanted to do that. I guess he did

[@guitarcody9]

Wow, really? It paid off.

[@Baretta73]

Yamandu was a student of the great Argentine guitarist Lucio Yanel, another legend of the 7-string in South America. In fact, the two recorded a documentary road movie called Two Guitars and a Road, or "Dois Violões e uma Estrada", available on KZbin.

[@bragdale]

Music in Brazil, in general, is another level.

[@tomazturra4134]

You see one of his best performances for sure! I offen see That one because is on of the best version for me of this tune. So glad to see a react to That one ❤

[@guitarcody9]

Oh good. I’m glad to hear that!

[@JohnB.6251]

I love it. Yamandu breaking all the rules about stillness even if with totally relaxed. He's moving all over the place, dancing with his guitar while he plays it. And almost never looking at the fretboard. On those fast runs, yikes, blind accuracy or just lifelong guitar extension of his body awareness. Saw something close to it in my youth at a Feliciano concert. Not moving around like this, but virtually blind feel for every spot on the guitar. More than a joy to watch, wondrous integration of body and instrument into one mind... John B.

[@pablofr74]

It’s the chimarrão effect 😅

[@daniplatt1133]

Sei

[@AfonsoBucco]

Next step: React to Arthur Bonilla. There are only a few videos with him. He used to played also with Yamandu. Unfortunately he died young in a car crash. As Yamandu one of his roots is on Gaúcho culture, he played with lots of our most popular bands and singers like João de Almeida Neto.

[@GhibliHeroine]

He comes from the south of Brazil, where I come from... There, we grew up with the sound of guitar songs, morning frost on the grass with birds celebrating, horses in the pastures, and beautiful sunny days with the Minuano wind brushing our faces. That must explain the poetic music of Yamandu. Ah, another curiosity: his name, "Yamandu" (or "Iyamandu"), means something like "the precursor of the law" or "the master of the word" in Tupi-Guarani.

[@michaelcoppola7523]

Sounds like a utopia

[@Lucaz99]

@@michaelcoppola7523it’s the most developed and safest region in Brazil by a mile as someone who comes from another totally different region of Brazil. It also has a more similar culture (Gaucho culture) to our Argentinian and Uruguayan neighbors in the Pampas region. Definitely one of the most underrepresented and underrated parts of Brazil as most foreigners know little about it.

[@michaelcoppola7523]

@ yeah im pretty clueless to the culture but am certainly becoming more intrigued. All i know is i have a guitar made with some of your priceless rosewood from a particular tree called the Milagro tree that sounds better than anything ive ever played in my life and i covet more than anything i own. It’s almost impossible to find anymore up here in the United States. Have also recently become obsessed with Villa-Lobos’ composing, particularly his etudes and am working on mastering No. 1 which is also one of the best right hand studies ive ever found. Top tier stuff all around. Much respect

[@silverpancs1283]

O ever watched Yamandu, but never saw him singing while play! So good!

[@deividgomes.comunicar]

I live in Brazil. His uncle is my neighbor, he also is a artist, a cartoonist. Yamandu is someone in another level of guitar in all points, technic, expression, freedom, creativity...

[@guitarcody9]

No way! That's so cool.

[@mattie5161]

I recall the Julian Bream documentary when he tells the story of Villa Lobos snatching the guitar out of his hands when playing one of his preludes, and him even telling Segovia not to play it! Bream said he thought Villa Lobos thought their playing was maybe too refined for Brazilian music. Whenever I see this guy play I think he could have been right! He’s an impressive player although personally I couldn’t listen to too much of him, but yeah, Brazilian music and musicians are one on their own for sure.

[@qc6265]

Went to a concert of his last year and he had a finger in his left hand bandaged, told us he had cut it a week prior with a knife during a barbecue, despite this still managed to play for a whole hour with his usual level of virtuosity, impressive mastery of the guitar

[@guitarcody9]

Wow!

Thank you for watching

[@fabiolima4290]

If you want more brazilian guitarists (and composers) search for Baden Powell, Guinga, Rosinha de Valença, Paulinho Nogueira, Raphael Rabello, Dilermando Reis, Luiz Bonfá, Marco Pereira. Nice video Cody!

[@zemarcosag]

And Laurindo de Almeida, Alessandro Penezzi, Rogério Caetano, Toninho Horta, the revolucionary Marcus Tardelli(using the thumb), and... and... and...

Thank you!

[@pauloyo3648]

Bro !!! search for Raphael Rabello. Cry my guitar (album) its another Brazilian monster thats gonna blow your mind as well !

[@yoda_zen]

You should explore Hermeto Pascoal =) A Brazilian multi-instrumentist praised and recorded by guys like Miles Davis, etc

[@murraykilpatrick3029]

I think that Hermeto is like the grand father of it all. Even if lots came before him. There are also some brilliant Brazilian accordion and clarinet players. Look up Domingus playing with Yamandu.

[@marcioangelo]

Ele é brilhante!

[@edilsonraimundo4320]

YAMANDU REALMENTE É FORA DA CURVA . GRATO POR COMPARTILHAR..

[@mariolordeiro8590]

Thank you for this comments about Yamandu. He is simply great. I have listened to him since he started. For me he is like Egberto Gismonti, another Brazilian wonderful multi-instrumentist and composer. Yamandu has this power of playing a unique and sweet sound...

[@JoaoPedro-ko4qi]

I recommend you to also check Raphael Rabello. He was an amazing Brazilian Guitarist, way ahead of his time, a lot of Yamandu playing comes from him. Btw Yamandu did Samba pro Rapha in his honor.

[@Ricardo-tu4ew]

Brazil has a lot of great guitarists (all of them, I would say, built different indeed, hehe!) But for me (and a lot of people too, I think...) the absolute king, the best of the bests, will always be Baden Powell

[@guitarcody9]

💯

[@eduardoeno2123]

Toca muito ,sem dúvida.O Yamandú usa um violão 7 cordas ,comum no samba e no chorinho .A corda a mais , um D grave , da um toque especial em algumas composições.😊

[@fantasminhacamarada-ph7ff]

Brasilian popular music is almost completely played with nylon strings

[@rafaelstoll73]

We are countrymen, we're both from Rio Grande do Sul state. There's a great music university course (graduation and doctorate) there: Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul.

[@RodrigoPenteado]

Brazilian music is harmonically and rhythmically intricate, while it appeals to popular audiences at the same time. Here, to play regular popular music you need to really learn a lot of advanced skills. The bar is set really high from the get-go, basically. I've seen accomplished American drummers struggle a bit with "basic" Brazilian music, just because they hadn't had contact with that vocabulary. And Yamandu's guitar style comes from this crossbreed between Choro - a traditional style of Brazilian music that is basically our version of early jazz - and Classical. Actually, all of the Brazilian greats have part of their musical origin in Choro. Check out Raphael Rabello and Dino 7 Cordas' album. They're some of Yamandu's masters.

[@tiago58]

The beverage that Yamandu drinks is CHIMARRÃO, very common on the Southern states of Brasil, Uruguay and Northern Argentina.

[@guitarcody9]

Thank you

[@digocr]

@@guitarcody9 🧉 The video was quite precise about it, calling it mate (as correct as chimarrão), mentioning high caffeine, south america (paraguay, argentina, uruguay and south of brazil) and how peculiar to drink it at night. I only drank it at night when studying late hours before tests with classmates 😆

8:19 but who said he's a "classical player"? His music is universal, is a mixture of several different influences, across South American countries, europe, etc....

[@brokegymrat8354]

Every guitarist has a classical player fase lol

[@yoda_zen]

@@brokegymrat8354 he did not have this phase. Se started off by learning popular Argentina's songs, such as Astor Piazzola, from a friend of his family that would stay at his house. He never went through that ordinary path as he did not study music at a conservatory.

[@yoda_zen]

@@brokegymrat8354 most of Brazilian music most brilliant musicians did not study theory at all. Yamandu does not know much of theory as well. Take Hermeto Pascoal, a person recorded and adored by Miles Davis, a real genius, learnt music theory at the age of 35 =D

[@brunocalatroni5557]

Lucio Yanel was his teacher

[@Hist_da_Musica]

Great video! Yamandu is part of a great semi-classical guitar tradition that encompasses figures like Baden Powell, Raphael Rabello and Egberto Gismonti! Also, the 7-string guitar is very common in choro, a Brazilian instrumental genre that favors virtuosity and improvisation. Some earlier choro players and composers such as Garoto began incorporating elements from classical and music and jazz into the Brazilian guitar tradition and created a "school" of sorts. (If you haven't already, take a look at the guitar works of Garoto!)

[@zu0832]

He's a Gaucho at heart...comes from that tradition

[@guitarcody9]

Hey, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’ll check out Garoto.

Sebastião Salgado said we don't photograph with camera. We do it with our culture. That's the same for any art. We are storytelling specialists. Art is about storytelling. It's not about technic although some are necessary, it's is not about perfect tuning. Listen to Elis Regina singing for example. If the lyrics is about deep suffering, do you suffer talking in tune? That's it. The whole Brazil, a continent, with incomparable variety of culture is present on any art we do

[@caiorossi4776]

He was sipping his "chimarrão". That hot matte tea is a strong feature of the culture in his state. It has indigenous origins, but it was mostly colonized by German and Italian immigrants who caught up the habit. So you see blonde people walking on the street and window shopping in malls while sipping that thing. It's weird for people from other states as well, not only foreigners.

If you liked this beautiful part of the Brasilian music, be cautious if you really want to study it here, you see, the spotlight nowadays are on what I call corrosive musics, when you here the good side of brasilian music, you get very disappointed when you see what is the norm today, Brasilian music have such spirit, it's one of the best parts of our culture, only to be left in the shadow of funk and trap, disgusting.

[@luizfernandomolina]

Unfortunately, musicians like Yamandu are rare in the Brazilian scene, crushed by the mediocre music industry.

[@otaviorocha4156]

If you come down here, try to find a good master before, because although nylon string guitar its a huge part of some of brazilian music, its not that easy to see gigs with this kind of sound. As others mentioned before, Choro is a big part of his sound, so you can start by checking some Choro players in Rio. Thanks for the reaction!

Don't get me wrong. I'm Brazilian, and for me it's great that we still have good musicians, because mainstream (funk and trap/rap) are just trash. But some of Yamadu's performances, like this one, are just noisy.

Brazil is a poor country. It was even worse before. You would rarely have access to other instruments like piano, cello or whatever, the more "noble" instruments. Guitar is different. It was a cheap instrument, easy to learn and with Brazilian choro, samba and bossa nova around, it has become the soul of Brazilian music. That's probably the reason why Brazil has a bunch of talented guitarists.
