Laurindo Almeida "Dear Hart" five time Grammy winning guitarist

[@Boldstrummer]

This man was a genius. With a gentle soul and uncanny ability to arrange tunes for the guitar like no other.

[@musicalenchantment]

Thank god for these precious recordings!! The one and only Laurindo Almeida...one of the very best....[`Salutes!]

[@MinkShmink]

Happy birthday ,dear Laurindo Almeida! 100 !! Your music will live in our hearts forever, greatest Maestro.

[@stanaoki330]

The greatest acoustic/classical guitar-player that ever lived! RIP Laurindo Almeida.

It makes me sad that I JUST discovered this man.. but it makes me happy to know that I’ll be hearing all of his music for the first time going forward. This guy was amazing 🙏

[@paulj0557tonehead]

I discovered him from watching Runway Girl (1962) at 23:20 today! A wonderful variation of Mr. Lucky, unless it's a similar song Mancini wrote. Let me know what you think. Mancini on Lawrence Welk was great too. Bob Ralston played Mr. Lucky on the 1981 Hammond Elegante organ iirc.

Os verdadeiros gênios nao podem ser esquecidos

[@farmdreamer342]

Thank you for uploading this treasure. A gift to humanity. Thank you Senhor Laurindo

[@MarcoPolo881]

Sure wish Laurundo was still with us , I love listening to his heartfelt and brilliant music!

[@ironpirites]

In addition to being a wonderful guitarist Almeida was also a great arranger of tunes for guitar. His arrangements add a depth of beauty and thoughtful commentary to many classic melodies. Most (I don't want to say all) of today's technically polished guitar heroes don't even approach his level of musical understanding and expression. He is one of the world's all time greatest guitar heroes. Not better than all the others but certainly in the company of the best.

[@newislandguitar]

A total genius ... what an ear! so many fantastic recordings,performances,compositions and arrangements!!!!

[@Rory99M]

This is magical!

[@FabioSoares-ro4pq]

É muito difícil entender como um gênio desse não é conhecido no Brasil. Infelizmente por aqui só faz sucesso lixo musical, embora tenhamos uma riquíssima música.

[@oriraykai3610]

Same here in US.

Dios del Olimpo, junto con Baden Powell, Jobim y Heitor Villa-Lobos. Artífices de la música brasileña.

[@ggattimusic]

This is a Takamine E90 nylon guitar from early 80's.

[@gudkovsaks]

СУПЕРМУЗЫКАНТ !!! БРАВИССИМО !!!

[@vifa1069MW3]

Un, Sr, gran maestro. molt booo,Joan, Catalonia free,💕💕❤️

[@anatolyFedotov]

Bravo

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

Yes, it is a misprint. According to Wikipedia, the song title is spelled "DEAR HEART." In every reference I could find, the second word is spelled with an 'E'.

[@edsonmoraesruas7446]

Bravo!

[@manguera9]

the trick to make the amplified classical guitar with piezo pick up to sound very close as classical guitar is low the strings half key,

[@luizclaudiopontespontes7798]

Monsters! Laurindo, Luiz Bonfa, Rabelo, Powell, Guinga, João Pernambuco, Yamandu, Lubambo.....

[@alair1939]

Grande Laurindo de Almeida pouco conhecido no Brasil por que o Tio Sam não deixou, que Deus o tenha, obrigado EdWaldrup

[@EdWaldrup]

Muchas gracias.

[@karlcury7416]

Não foi porque o Tio Sam não deixou, muito pelo contrário. Os EUA, e a Europa, prestigiaram e muito o Laurindo. Ele tocou nas maiores, e melhores orquestras dos EUA, fez arranjos para os melhores músicos da época, porém o seu desgosto foi nunca ter sido reconhecido no Brasil. Descanse em paz grande Laurindo de Almeida!!!!

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Not a deer hart but a Dear Heart.

[@N617A]

Was that mancini in the beginning? The same mancini who did the pink panther theme? Badass!!!!!!

[@gmenezesdea]

Yes, and when scoring the pink panther he worked with another incredible Brazilian musician: Waltel Branco

[@N617A]

@@gmenezesdea Wow :|

[@brtherjohn]

"Dear Heart".

[@brtherjohn]

I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. Extraordinary gentleman and musician!

[@Rentaghost76]

Two questions: 1. When was this recorded? 2. What make of guitar is he playing?

[@HarryVerey]

Guitar is a Takamine HD 90 which I also have. It is an a electro-classical guitar and really should be plugged in to hear at it's best. In this case it is not connected to an amplifier and is only being heard acoustically through the stage mic. .

[@MrJmarzocchi]

Une vraie guitare classique aurait été plus appropriée.
