Choro is also popularly called chorinho. It is a Brazilian popular music genre. "Loco" (formally spelled "louco") means "crazy". So, the title means "Crazy Choro".
Or maybe Yamandu titled the song in Spanish, which spells "loco"
And "choro" comes from the verb "chorar" which mean to cry.
Or better saying: “Crazy (louco) Cry (choro)”.
Choro is from chorinho, the musical genre. Loco is from Spanish, crazy, because Portuguese is "louco". But in the South of Brasil, from where Yamandu comes from, loco is a slang, meaning something exceptionally good. I think our slang loco is translatable as crazy as slang in English, for instance, this burger is crazy good. So, I think loco in the title has this south Brazilian slang meaning, that this Chorinho is crazy good.
@@henriquemarks Nope, "loco" only works as a slang for "good" if followed by the actual word for "good", as in "loco de bom" or "loco de bem bom"
This guy is the best of all time
Dude’s inhuman mate 👀 🥵
Yamandu is a genius. I saw a show by Yamandu in 2003, if I'm not mistaken, at the municipal theater in Rio de Janeiro. It was simply spectacular. He played with the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra. And, in the end, he brought a guest. A 12-year-old boy named Karai Guedes. Another fantastic guitarist, who was a neighbor of Yamandu in Rio Grande do Sul. Karai Guedes, another fantastic guitarist too.
Karaí recebeu seu primeiro 12 cordas do Yamandu, é uma história muito foda. Mas infelizmente o Karaí é bem tradicional, "chucro", como dizemos aqui no RS, criado no campo e não tem grandes pretensões artísticas. Até hoje toca com a família e se ninguém tiver interesse de puxar o cara para os palcos do violão solo ele nunca vai ter a pretensão
@@BacatauMania Entendo. Eu o sigo no Instagram. Às vezes ele faz projetos com outros artistas, mas sempre no estilo musical do Sul. Mas é um excelente músico.
@@Eddie71883 com certeza, se ele quisesse ele era reconhecido na Europa
@@BacatauMania Verdade! Já até o é de certa forma pelo Instagram.
I music teacher I had told me once: "choro is for bossa nova what dixieland is for jazz".
Many luthiers in Brazil have been applying that soundhole at the top of the guitar, so the musician can listen straight from the guitar... This really delivers a very nice sound, I have experimented with one such instrument, and it really delivers an improved sound.
you should see him playing with his wife: "Yamandu Costa e Elodie Bouny - La Catedral"
Choro (Chorinho) the FIRST GENUINE BRASILIAN "Rhythm" Music!!!
Yamandu Costa is the brilliant and talented guitarist composer from Brazil, known inside and outside the country and holds important awards. We have other wonderful Brazilian guitarists, one of them called Fabio Lima. In fact, we have a lot of good guitarists.
Yes, choro is a musical genre born in Rio de Janeiro, out of its previous popular form maxixe, in the beginning of the 1900's. As the blues is in the roots of jazz, the choro's in the roots of samba.
Chorinho (literally means little choro) was/is a musical genre name most used to refer to faster tempo choros.
The song Choro Loco has its name (crazy choro) certainly due to the altered forms, breaks, ingredients and variations over a traditional choro's patterns.
Thank you! 👏👏👏
Agree Matthew....awesome for sure! Man, this is crazy good. Such a master of the instrument even with so much going on in his head and fingers. Senor Segovia is dropping his jaw in heaven for sure. Just masterful.
Yamandu is our one-man orchestra, it has already become a national historical and artistic heritage. hehehehe
This is a 'choro' it is a Kind of Brazilian song style probably was Born before the samba, however in high velocity because that man is a incredible musician
One thing that is worth mentioning is that the 7-string guitar is basically a default in the Choro genre! There's even a very cool Adam Neely's video that he talks about the origins of Bossa Nova and Samba, and he mentions Choro ('cause its the origin of Samba) and he jokes that Choro musicians were the "True Djent" because of the 7-string guitars with those really deep low notes haha
😄
Yes, you are right about the top sound hole. There are a few luthiers doing this and also placing them in other locations.
Such a great idea!
No way
Love it man, can’t wait to hear more from this guy 🤩 I have a friend in Brasil from Sky haha, I’ll share this with him!
Amazing! Your reactions to brazilian music are very expected
Amazing! Yamando Costa is another of my favourite musicians. Wonderful to find him here.
This guitar was made by a canadian Luthier. Yamandu has guitars from various countries. For some of it, there is videos in his channel.
This hole that you mentioned is usual here among “luthiers” (stringed instruments maker). And it’s very useful.
The sound hole is called a "Sound Port" and is very common in newer custom builds. Yes, it's a personal Monitor, but it supposed to allow the sound board to resonate better to minimize pressure buildup in the body - it's a concept that is up for debate - but I build my guitars with sound ports and love it...
Yamandu's guitar teacher was a great guitarist from Argentina called Lucio Yanel. So if you see Yamandu in his early years, you'll a heavily Argentinian style influenced Yamandu, making use of pizzicato playing quite a lot. He's from southern Brazil, so his style was greatly based on Chamamés, Milongas and other gaucho folk music.
But as time passed, that's when you see his true genius. He looked even more at Brazilian music, namely choro and samba, and was able to incorporate different genres and style of playing. He was already an outstanding guitarist and he just got better and better. He's married to an amazing French classical guitarist, Elodie Bouny. I believe she also had a huge impact in his playing. Elodie herself is also at another level of playing.
Choro is a musical style that many people around the world may hear and think they have never heard, but there is a choro called "Tico Tico no Fubá," which is probably one of the most well-known Brazilian songs of all time. I bet you're familiar with it.
If the left hand is majestic, the right is outrageus!
Choro in Portuguese is not the act of crying but the tears themselves, but it is also a popular Brazilian music style called Chorinho. You can find videos on youtube of "Roda de Choro" which is usually guitarrists playing Choro together. Loco is a different spelling of the word Louco which means Crazy.
So let's say the music is called Choro on roids, or something like that.
Choro comes from "Chorinho", a Brazilian musical style like "Jazz". Loco short for "Louco", means Crazy. It would be like "Crazy Jazz" or "Crazy Choro".
Please do not compare choro with jazz, otherwise the americans will believe brazilians copied it (Choro is from late XIX Century)
Just for the record: 60% of the sounds you hear from the guitar are emitted through the front soundboard, not through the hole. The function of the hole is to direct the sound projection.
I believe it’s 61%
You may check Raphael Rabello. One of the guitar players who influenced Yamandu. He composed a song , Choro para Rapha .
Beautiful! Love that low bass
Yes!
Yamandu is the guitar. Amazing.
"Gorgeous" only begins to describe this modern gem .
As lovely as it is supremely virtuosic .
Appreciate your ear for such sublime mastery .
Thanks Tim, so glad you enjoyed it!
@@StrateleStudios
Love how your channel digs deeper than the "Top 40 Pop Hits".
My background is in Renaissance/Baroque vocals (Tenor/Bach Festival Chorale/I Cantori di Carmel /Choral soloist) largely , with some Operatic ventures . So , always had a love for musicality grounded in tangible passion .
Wondering if you've heard of Berklee School of Music teacher Francois Chanvallon - a remarkable guitarist ? Staggering level of virtuosity in the same vein as Allan Holdsworth , whom he covers quite convincingly ?
@@timgrady4630 I have have not heard of Francois but if he’s a Berkeley instructor I can imagine he’s amazing.
@@StrateleStudios
Indeed .
Worth a peek . Frankly stunning .

Here's a duet at Berklee :

To better understand what "Choro loco" means, you must make a immersion in Brazilian culture!! Choro, as a lot o people said, is a song of a music genre here called "chorinho". Ok, but this not tell so much! Chorinho is made from our the best instrumental musician on earth! This style are made by small groups of great musician making music, we call a "roda de choro" where musicians are in the middle facing each other like friends talking, at public spaces, drinking and having fun and experimenting sounds! Every musician in this "wheel" have it turn to make his improvisation to show his skills! And that meaning of "cry" that came from this, became from the sadness that came from "Samba", something like the "blues" that have sadness in the root! Even when a blues doesn't have not sadness at all! And this "cry" spirit can also mean a powerful way to conduct the music expression at their limits, like a powerful gut emotion in most powerful strength!! "Loco" can also be related to Yamandu origins, mixing Brazilian music with Spanish origin music made by people from south, mixed with Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and others latins origins! And at the same time this idea of craziness in which something is not possible to understand due to high levels of music expression who transcend comprehension!! And, to finish, "Choro loco" is also a popular way to be friendly, it's not a "Bach partita", is only something crazy to delight! Nothing full of rules, not a German ruled music to analyze. You can hear "Jacob do Bandolim" to understand a real root Chorinho, and see how far Yamandu goes in this style!! When you look at "chorinho" you understand that "bossa nova" is for beginners! lol You can better understand what a "roda de choro" is in this video: ruclips.net/video/FptBGxSeidE/видео.html
Choro Loco means literally "Crazy Crying". But Choro (Cry) that he referenced is about the Brazilian genre. It's also called Chorinho (little cry, literally).
another good guitar player of brazil is Baden Powell, take look!
No doubt, Mandu is the best in Brazil today!
YES, the best in the world.
Depois de ouvir Yamandu você vai entender o nome da música
O Choro Loco não é bem um choro, e o Samba pro Rapha não é exatamente um samba😂 Mas ao mesmo tempo, são sim Choro e Samba... no mundo criativo, virtuoso, cheio de improviso e com a atmosfera mágica de Yamandu. ❤
Choro is the name of the act of crying, producing tears. It is also the name of a musical gender.
You should make more videos like this from the other Yamandu songs. Cheers!
Brazilian Paco de Lucia.
I highly recommend Marcin “Carmen Habanera” interpretation. It will blow your mind.
Sensacional
God playing guitar
Brazil has/have greats guitar players. Try also Rafael Rabello (dead), Dilermando Reis and Turíbio Santos (I'm not sure). Enjoy!
react to, Hamilton de Holanda, is amazing
❤🇧🇷

This video shows where he went to get this guitar. I think you will like to know more in detail (ruclips.net/video/oLKpj-0_CEU/видео.html)
This is great, thank you!
Sem dúvida, uma interpretação monstruosa!! Mas... devo admitir que a música em si é muito "complexa". Só ouvidos treinados conseguem perceber conexão e harmonia entre as notas e /ou acordes. Ouvido funkeiro não dá 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yamandu Costa is the best "no violão"(guitar acoustic/in portuguese)🎸👍🎶🇧🇷
Deve-se escrever "louco". Loco é uma palavra em espanhol.
Crazy cry...
Deberías reaccionar a Matías arriazu 🦫 es mejor aún
The style, chords and rhythmic ideas are clearly inspired by pieces written for guitar by the great Brazilian composer Radames Gnattali, which were played and recorded by the late, great Raphael Rabello. Check them out if you like this.
Yamandu "Extraterrestre" Costa, simplesmente..!
Yep crazy cry, literally, but like dbatata said, it's also crazy choro
😂
