Seis Milonga is one of the movements of Suite Antillana published by Mel Bay and dedicated to my dear friend Carlos Barbosa Lima. It is an original piece not an arrangement.
Seis milonga uno de Los ritmos autoctonos de Puerto Rico, tiene un parentesco con la milonga Argentina. Una pieza Hermosa y digna representacon folklorica puertorriquena.
I was with Carlos tonight and am proud to call him my friend. He is always so humble and yet he is probably the finest guitar player in the world. His playing of this piece is a prime example of his greatness
I had the privilege of seeing him front row in the Aranjuez Palace Chapel during the Andrés Segovia Festival in Madrid, about two years ago... The man played exquisitely for over 2 hours, this piece included... I have to say it is the most INCREDIBLE live performance I have ever seen in my life. If you closed your eyes you would think there was an orchestra playing... But perhaps even more incredible was being able to have dinner with him right after and realizing he is such a humble person...
Impressionante! Ouvivendo os vídeos do Carlos, vejo que escolhi a profissão certa: a de ouvinte. Até que em minha juventude me aproximei do violão clássico, alguns anos de estudo e poucos avanços. Desisti, pelo bem da músic!. Vi que não dava pra mim. Hoje me deleito escutando interpretações belíssimas ao violão, de preferência os nossos músicos brasileiros: inventivos, criativos e geniais como o Carlos, os Abreu, os Assad, o Rabello...
You all might like Yamandu Costa as well,it's another brazilian guitar player, younger than carlos barbosa, but also good player. Parabens Carlos Barbosa, um talento tão pouco reconhecido no Brasil.
Friends! Please tell me what "Seis Milonga" means? I know what "Milonga" is, but "Seis Milonga" is the first time I've encountered it. Why is it called that?
El Seis Milonga no es lo mismo que la milonga argentina. Si bien es cierto que muchos de los Seises puertorriqueños considerados autóctonos (en contraposición a los Seises folclóricos) toman de culturales musicales extranjeras, como sería el caso del Seis Milonga, el Seis Andino (influencia peruana), el Seis llanero (influencia venezolana). En todos los casos, absolutamente en todos, hay una reformulación muy propia que descontextualiza el orígen geográfico y cultural desde donde proviene, partiendo desde el uso del cuatro puertorriqueño y nuestra forma de cantar las décimas. Por ejemplo, si se compara el Seis Milonga Jíbraro con la Milonga argentina, la sonoridad de las cuerdas es muy diferente, al igual que la manera de cantar, pese que en TODA la tradición latino americana hay estructuras de composiciones en décimas que acaban sonando muy similares en la rima: Puerto Rico: ruclips.net/video/Mz4ESlKhm_E/видео.html Argentina: ruclips.net/video/cMkmgjpCY6A/видео.html´ Las diferencias son marcadas y notables. Un Seis autóctono es tan puertorriqueño como un Seis folclórico. Por otro lado, es como si los puertorriqueños negaramos la particularidad de la Plena Uruguaya, que brota de la Puertorriqueña, pero que ya es marcadamente distinta (sobre todo por la influencia del toque Malvin). Un tanto se podría decir de la Cumbia Villera argentina: no imagino un Colombiano argumentando con solidez que es lo mismo que la cumbia colombiana, pues hay marcadas diferencias.

Also a tipical south brazilian music...
Only thing better than Carlos is: Laurindo Almeida, Charlie Byrd AND Carlos all together in "The Brazillian Masters."
My favorite album
milonga is not puerto rican music
is uruguay/argentinean music, just like tango
la milonga se siente papá
