Classical Composer Reacts to music by Yamandu Costa (Brazilian Guitarist) | The Daily Doug (Ep. 442)

[@yamanducostaoficial]

Ola doug !!! Obrigado 🙏 pelo carinho !!!! Viva música ! Bendita música

Comment from the man himself.

[@Doug.Helvering]

Thank you, Yamandu! It was a true pleasure to listen to incredible music performed by such an outstanding musician as you. Thank you for watching, and thank you for your music. Can’t wait to hear more of it!

I'm honored to be the guest DJ for today's video. Yamandu is an astounding artist, and the reaction was beautiful. A happy Brazilian here, for sure.

[@GuilhermeSilva-rp2it]

Marcos, vê mandou bem. Yamandu, e Raphael, não são desse mundo. Eu acho que a racionalidade não consegue explicar o que é o domínio que esses caras têm sobre o instrumento. É um negócio q acho não haver explicação. Porque o "simples" estudo e prática de um ofício como esse não levaria , para mais de 99.99% dos mortais, a um nível de 20% de execução que esses caras têm. Eu acho um negócio sobrenatural. Temos grandes tesouros. Egberto, Dominguinhos, Assad, Abreu...

[@billebs]

@@GuilhermeSilva-rp2it verdade, são fenômenos inexplicáveis, bênçãos artísticas. Acho que boa parte do prazer, senão todo ele, vem dessa inexplicabilidade. É uma coisa que simplesmente acontece. Abraço

[@TheConsideredMan]

I'm an English guy and have loved Brazilian music for about 50 of my 58 years...it's such a rich seam of wonderful wonderful music...I do play myself of course, but compared to Yamandu you could argue that I probably don't...😉😂

[@magmasunburst9331]

I just discovered it about 2 weeks ago. Some of the most amazing female vocals, completely different than what I would have thought it would be: Umas e outras and a few works of quarteto em cy. Not all of the latter I find that interesting, often when they sound like the first band, but some of the music they put out before them like in 1964 is amazing as well.

[@SpauloMarcos]

We appreciate it, sir! If you want to, try to listen to Fabio Lima, he's also amazing at acoustic guitar and more!

[@TriratnaBrasil]

Once, when waiting for a plane in a quiet seating area of Porto Alegre airport, Yamandu came in and sat in front of me, opened his guitar case and then played a beautiful chorinho for about twenty minutes right in front of me as he waited for his plane. We didn't exchange a word. We looked at each other. No words. A perfect moment. Thank you (de coração), Yamandu

[@marendur]

Wow!

[@TriratnaBrasil]

@@krautgazer Uh oh.... meus sentimentos

[@SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Costa is a genius! I love him and bought everything he’s recorded. He’s like our generation’s Chopin on guitar- just beautiful music!

[@nietsbrak]

In 1832, Louis Panormo built an instrument very close to what we know today as a classical guitar, although smaller and with a more accentuated waist. In 1859, Spanish luthier Antonio de Torres Jurado created the instrument that currently defines its history, having become the classical guitar. Chopin died in Paris at the age of 39 of tuberculosis. Please look up Andrès Segovia.

[@KotrokoranaMavokely]

True🍷🥂🫂👍

[@mrmusic248]

I've been playing for over 50 years, and watching this guy, I feel like I've learned nothing. An incredible player !!!!

[@MarkH457]

Guitarist for 46 years, rock and pop, these classical guys always leave me feeling vastly inferior, and this gentleman is among the best I've seen

[@EduardoRiter]

@@MarkH457 Yamandu does not come from classical. Instead he comes from a line of folk players. Enjoy more on his channel and so. He is the pride of our people here in Rio Grande do Sul.

@@EduardoRiter bah tche! kkkk

[@ricardodrumond2628]

He plays since he wad 7 years old

You are not the only one in this situation (if that brings any comfort to you, ...LOL). Yamandu is really impressive.

[@cactusbro1527]

Discovered Yamandu 3 years ago. Check his "documentaries" where he travels to several countries, usually aiming to interview guitar luthiers and artists, and play with them... a gift for the soul

[@ftlpope]

One could spend a lifetime exploring Brazilian music and never be tired of it.

[@BigZ_4i20]

That's what brazilians usually do hahaha

[@danielcasasorozco2978]

[@valdineisantos4768]

Yes. I'm brazilian and there is something I would like to tell it to all the world... in Brazil we have alot of different "cultures" in different parts of Brazil, and their has their lovelly differents kind of music too. I mean,,, out of Rio Bahia and São Paulo.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Yamandu Costa is right now the best guitar player in the world as far as I'm concerned

[@nietsbrak]

Andrès Segovia already passed away, but not John Williams, nevertheless... I agree that Yamandu is in the same level as the historical Guitar Masters - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep2qdpiDm56pd5Y&ab_channel=Andr%C3%A9sSegovia-Topic

[@OtavioFesoares]

Yeah. No one else can even come close to him.

[@NickHchaos]

Uhh..Vicente Amigo?

[@marviosantos]

Oh my God Doug! I am so glad you got to listen to Yamandu! He is a monster player, but never mind that! He is an amazing composer! That "line" going diagonally across his guitar is a "substitute" for "dot inlays" which usually mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th, Etc.. Frets on the guitar. Yamandu doesn't need them, the dude barely even looks at his guitar while playing. When this Brazilian luthier made this guitar for him he (the luthier) wanted to include fret markers, Yamandu told him to just make it pretty if he absolutely had to. That diagonal inlay is what the luthier came up with! :) The first song was a very specific type of Samba, it's called "Chorinho", literally "Crying" in English. It's a type of samba from the 1910's - 1930's which in the past 10 years or so has seen a resurgence in Brazil. I consider "Chorinho" truly Brazilian classical music. Our venerable Villa Lobos wrote many himself. You should get it right from the horse's mouth however. Ernesto Nazare was at the ground level when chorinho is concerned, much like Yamandu he did not have any formal training, I can't even wrap my head around how he wrote this stuff! A good primer is "Brejeiro", in English "Swamp". Yamandu plays this piece beautifully! Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6q0mYepl86MY8k Another great chorinho (they are all great) by Ernesto is "Odeon": kzbin.info/www/bejne/faHZq4mCmLKDppY

[@Pebo62]

Thanks for clearing that up about the diagonal line running the length of the fretboard. I had no idea. I have also noticed recently that some of his instruments have an additional sound hole.

[@pfbrodriguez]

@@Pebo62 Yamandu also says it is an ice breaker with other guitar players, everybody asks him about it and he can engage in conversation

[@bobbyarce]

The guitar is actually made by a Canadian luthier called Will Hamm, you can find the Yamandú Signature model on his website.

[@Ana_crusis]

Yamandu has had formal training, at least some

[@adonnayjr]

About your question at 10:30 : Once Yamandu told me the following story: Once Paco de Lucia asked the same question: What is that line on the fretboard of your guitar for? Yamadu replied: For you to ask! 😂

[@sottsog2873]

Wtf.. He made me cry. Great musician. Thank you

[@krishmah586]

Yamandu es un verdadero genio del instrumento, además de interpretar con el alma y de sentir la música en cada centímetro de su piel. Es un regalo del cielo ❤️👍🏿🇲🇽

[@prsancho]

The first time I’ve heard of him was almost 30 years ago. I was in a group along with some friends, and someone said excitedly: “there’s this chubby boy with small hands that you can’t believe the things he does with a guitar!” The guy was spot on…

[@johnanthony6742]

I been a rocker metalhead all my life and a guitarist but the older I've gotten I have really loved the classical guitar and honesty one of the best rock guitarist Randy Rhodes also played classical guitar and was said to receive classical lessons while he was on the road touring. Thanks for introducing me to this guy...

[@mariliasalgado9089]

Once I had the pleasure of watching the impact of Yamandú's playing on a famous American classical pianist. After the concert the pianist could not sleep at all. He told me the next day Yamandu is one of the most amazing musicians he has ever heard.

[@johnnycamposflute]

Witch peace?

[@garypriestley3886]

I live in Sao Paulo and I had the privilege to see him live (for free) in a small theatre near my house, the guy is amazing, a real virtuoso and spectacular to watch live. I had trouble following his fingers at times, it was like a blur! In my opinion he is the best guitarist in Brazil. He's also a very funny and likeable guy, he interacted with the audience and told some funny stories in between songs.

[@alissonvidal2474]

This man got a standing ovation by Paco de Lucia, who was at his concert just to meet him, even being one of Yamandu greatest influences.

[@MartinUnderwood]

Holy cow, that was fantastic. Never heard of this guy, but that was phenomenal playing. To answer the "what's the diagonal thing", it looks like it's just a fret inlay that crosses the whole neck, instead of on a few frets. Just visual aesthetics.

[@kristhyanmonte6565]

Yep, he hv said before that he does it just for giggles of making people intrigued

[@lazarodm]

I had an opportunity to ask him after a concert and he told me that the first time his Luthier built a 7-string for him he had to join two necks and put that stripe in. Later on it became a "mark" :)

[@joestoen8681]

Definitely going to add this incredible musician to my Spotify list. What an amazing guitarist. Bravo!

[@AnonymousBosch3158]

My favorite from him is "Heranca Russa", it means "Russian Heritage", he mixes brazillian music with russian traditional music. I think you all should try.

[@ethandudash1073]

You can tell he plays from the heart, not caught in the language, but in the emotion of the sound and vibration. A true musician and poet

[@MDIman42]

Insanely talented guitarist. I thought I played guitar... he PLAYS the guitar :)

[@weslleycantor_]

Você poderia ver Raphael Rabello, o qual Yamandu homenageia em Samba pro Rapha. Sugestão.

Ele era fantástico. Grande grande perda pra música

[@leoneisilvadacosta4513]

Grande Raphael Rabello foi um dos melhores tbm! Pena ter ido tão cedo

[@manlioyllades]

Brazilian harmony is from another world. And they can learn it in the streets. It was a sharp eleventh (common in jazz), not a sharp fourth

[@HelgaCavoli]

In his case he was a son of two musicians and lived and breathed in that world/direct influence.

[@fernandoSilva-bc7xl]

I'm from Brazil. This is hard hard study, not streets

[@TriGrutt]

There’s a concert in which Paco de Lucia was at the audience and at the he stood up and clapped to Yamandu. That gesture alone tells loads!

[@j0nasbs]

This one: watch?v=RTCt71xB5Cs

[@Jarlaxled-wg6wj]

Well, to be fair, Paco stood and clapped because Yamandu told the audience he was there, so there is that...

[@caravaggio31]

@@Jarlaxled-wg6wj Well, to be fair ... de Lucia doesn't goes out home to watch shows of ordinary or even good violonists. If he was there, this means something ...

[@kobinagreppe]

the detail on the fretboard is purely aesthetic, a Luthier signature. the instrument was produced in Alberta Canada. Developed from Yamandu's own specifications.

[@demiante]

I listened to Yamandu in a live presentation once in Salvador, capital of my home state. The atmosphere was incredible that night. I was completely blown away. I could not touch my guitar for two weeks after that experience. I witnessed perfection and wanted to keep that memory in my years for as much as I could.

[@johnentwistle952]

sorry but which days were those? cause since rock n roll made its appearence no one really play instruments anymore.. it's more about writing catchy tunes isn't it? lennon or dylan couldn't play a single note the way that this guy does.. but they did write some freakin legendary tunes didn't they? to me it seems that nowadays it's just one thing or another.. you got these incredible people straight from planet virtuosity and then we got people like ed sheeran.. nothing really remarkable anymore at least on a mainstream level.. something went definitely wrong along the way don't you think? but i don't see any lack of virtuos musicians.. not at all. on the other side i see definitely a lack of outstanding songwriters.

[@Pebo62]

I have followed Yamandu for five or six years now. He is one of many truly great players and composers from Brazil and Argentina. I became smitten at about the age of 16 with Brazilian music the first time I heard Astrud Gilberto's voice and Stan Getz's sax listening to The Girl From Ipanema in 1964. There are so many, but two other mostly unknown South American musicians here in the US are Hermeto Pascoal and Astor Piazzolla. I believe Yamandu may have borrowed the Zero Hour reference from Piazzolla's "Zero Hour" album of Tango. Piazzolla is classically trained and plays a bandonean. His "take" on Vivaldi's Four Seasons is a knockout. This should interest you Doug: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6SUc4VraseCo8k Thank you, Marcos.
