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!
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...
@@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
Excelente recomendação Marcos. Parabéns. Tentei recomendar pro Doug fazer react do Tim Maia, que é outro tesouro dentre tantos que temos no Brasil. Espero um dia vê-lo gravando este tipo de conteúdo.
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...😉😂
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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
Infelizmente o máximo que eu consigo encontrar em um aeroporto da minha região é o Genésio Tocantins ou o Frank Aguiar... é triste ser apreciador de 7 cordas no norte do país! ahushauhushauhsuahus
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.
Andrès Segovia already passed away, but not John Williams, nevertheless... I agree that Yamandu is in the same level as the historical Guitar Masters - ruclips.net/video/DlGEeMf9vA4/видео.html&ab_channel=Andr%C3%A9sSegovia-Topic
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: ruclips.net/video/eyQhTsbiY-g/видео.html Another great chorinho (they are all great) by Ernesto is "Odeon": ruclips.net/video/GpvzVLcMPp4/видео.html
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.
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! 😂
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…
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 ❤️👍🏿🇲🇽
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.
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" :)
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.
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.
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...
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.
@@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 ...
Yamandu is an outstanding player, really one of the greats. Seeing this video makes me think some awesome brazilian music for you to react Doug, greets from Brazil!!
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.
One of the most refreshing musicians since Al Di Meola. A virtuose of the seven string acoustic who creates beautiful melodies and plays with a rare emotional quality. Thanks so much for presenting Yamandu to the world.
the detail on the fretboard is purely aesthetic, a Luthier signature. the instrument was produced in Alberta Canada. Developed from Yamandu's own specifications.
Thank you for introducing me to this extremely talented individual. To (hopefully correctly) answer your question, that diagonal thing is purely cosmetic. If i'm wrong, i'd love to know what it is!
I'm so jealous to see your first time reaction ! For me there is only one bad thing about Yamandu, unfortunately I discovered him many years ago, so will never experience that first time any more. I was so astonished...
When I listen for the first time about Yamandu Costa, I just got so touched by his talent, my whole body tremble, got chills, and tears came out my eyes.
This is remarkable. I really missed the days when people actually can play instruments. Yamandu played with so much emotion and great dynamic changes, and of course his beautiful beautiful melody. Love it so much!!!
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.

Great use of your platform. So much music to hear and learn about. Love everything I’ve heard out of Brazil. Several great bands available for a Metal Monday - Noturnal, Angra, countless others all with top notch musicians, Bad Salad would be a great Prog option. Thanks for what you do Doug!
I thought Doug was going to cry ... I cried ... Yamandu is spreading that special Brazilian feeling for life all around the world ... saudades for Baden ...
ive seen him live once playing with Hamilton de Holanda.. without a doubt one of the most amazing musical experiences ive ever had.. the energy they had was absolutely incredible..
Quem nunca ouviu Yamandu Costa, não tem a menor noção do quê um ser humano é capaz de imaginar, sentir, construir, executar... quase parecendo não humano...
Doug, it was a pleasure watching your enjoyment of this great artist I discovered Yamandu's music years ago, and have been lucky enough to see him in NYC since his first featured appearance in 2012. His music nourishes the soul on the deepest levels, with its virtuosity, soul and humanity... and a lot of playfulness too. O Grande Yamandu, beijado por Deus...
Welcome to the cluc of Yamandu’s admirers. He is one of the top 10, if not the very top. Heart and soul of the classical guitar in all its aspects - classical, folk, jazz, rhythm… all. Thanks fir the show.
One of your best reviews Doug, along with the exilerating talent of Yamandu Costa. I too am now a fan. Kudos, Marcos for delivering on such a wonderful selection. Uplifting!
Our traditional Samba has benefited in a beautiful way from both, the Classical music in "Chorinho" and the influence of Jazz in Bossa Nova. That´s our true Brazilian Music
Now you've really surprised me! Never in my wildest thoughts, I expected to hear a react on Yamandú, a true genius of the instrument. You've opened up a whole new ocean of sounds here! Dive in!
Yamandu is a point out of the curve, for sure. You should take a look at some more "popular" music also, like Djavan and the ones the other Brazilian folks already posted here. You 'll be surprised
Diagonal line is a custom flare for sure. And well deserved. Could be used as a fret marker as I saw referenced below, but this dude plays with his eyes closed so...
This guy is the best guitarist period! My friend showed me him years ago. (Its a capo) but he sets his odd sometimes to pull off even more unique stuff. I love metal, and Vai and Joe, but this guy is truly from another planet. I got to hear all his stuff many times.
@@MrJSyer Pela primeira vez na vida eles iriam se perguntar "Existe alguém em um teto tão mais alto que o nosso assim?!" ahushauhsuahsuhaus Yamandu literalmente vive o violão, ele tem instrumentos espalhados em tudo que é cômodo da casa e certamente já passou mais tempo encostado em um violão do que em um travesseiro!
Yamandú é um grande musico,sem dúvida.,A composiçao " Samba pro Rapha" ( que significa algo como "Rock to Bob") ,foi uma musica em homenagem a Raphael Rabello,um gênio do violão brasileiro,que morreu jovem,infelismente( aneurisma,se não me engano). Obrigado pela referência Doug❤
8 месяцев назад
Na verdade o Raphael Rabello contraiu HIV via transfusão de sangue. Tristes anos 80...
Doug, amazing video, as always. If you liked these, you should check out "Lamento Sertanejo" performed by Yamandu Costa (guitar), Hamilton de Holanda (mandolin) and Mayra Andrade (vocals from Cabo Verde). I cry every time I listen to it. Really a master piece.
There's a concert of Yamandu Costa with Dominguinhos, and is the most joyful musical concert of all times in my opinion. Watch this concert here on RUclips and you will not regret. Cheers.
Yamandu é muito melhor que muitos músicos famosos no mundo inteiro, só que no Brasil não há um reconhecimento merecido a sua grandeza e versatilidade 🎸
O Brasil é cheio de musicistas excelentes, pena que os que estudam praticamente uma vida por aqui não dão valor.. é importante essa visibilidade vindo de fora do Brasil com seriedade.. te acompanho a um tempo já, e agora que não deixo de acompanhar mesmo kkkkk
Absolutely beautiful music by a very talented player on an amazing instrument. Reminds me of John Williams the British classical guitarist, I wonder what John would make of his guitar or if he's ever played one!
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: ruclips.net/video/Ms1BR55bOmg/видео.html Thank you, Marcos.
What a great surprise to see Yamandu in your channel, Doug. He's a treasure. His first album, early 2000 is a masterpiece. Keep doing the good Brazilian song and we'll all be happy (and your channel will grow really fast).
Amazing, I love Yamandu, I had the oportunity to talk with him before, such a nice guy. Im a guitarrist too. Please react to some clasical music once in while, I would love to hear your explanations over some symphonies or concertos, sonatas, etc. Take care my man.
Ola doug !!!
Obrigado 🙏 pelo carinho !!!!
Viva música ! Bendita música

Meu caro Yamandu. Que honra poder apresentar sua música para o Doug. Conquistaste um lugar no coração dele. Abraços cariocas!
that thing on The fretboard is a Inlay
Dá-lhe, tchê!
Paco de Luccia aplaudiu de pé o Yamandú...
Chegar nesse estágio é para muito poucos!
los genios se reconocen
Ele só fez isso para Yamandú e o falecido Raphael Rabello.
I know the master of Yamandu, an extraordinary Uruguayan guitarist named Lúcio Yanel. You can find RUclips videos of the two playing together.
That concert happen in my city: watch?v=RTCt71xB5Cs

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.

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

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.
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
Insanely talented guitarist. I thought I played guitar... he PLAYS the guitar :)
Você poderia ver Raphael Rabello, o qual Yamandu homenageia em Samba pro Rapha. Sugestão.
Eu sugerir isso também. O Raphael teve influência em vários artistas e claro no Yamandu também.
Ele era fantástico. Grande grande perda pra música
Grande Raphael Rabello foi um dos melhores tbm! Pena ter ido tão cedo
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
In his case he was a son of two musicians and lived and breathed in that world/direct influence.

This is hard hard study, not streets

I thought Doug was going to cry ... I cried ... Yamandu is spreading that special Brazilian feeling for life all around the world ... saudades for Baden ...
ive seen him live once playing with Hamilton de Holanda.. without a doubt one of the most amazing musical experiences ive ever had.. the energy they had was absolutely incredible..
Quem nunca ouviu Yamandu Costa, não tem a menor noção do quê um ser humano é capaz de imaginar, sentir, construir, executar... quase parecendo não humano...
Doug, it was a pleasure watching your enjoyment of this great artist
I discovered Yamandu's music years ago, and have been lucky enough to see him in NYC since his first featured appearance in 2012. His music nourishes the soul on the deepest levels, with its virtuosity, soul and humanity... and a lot of playfulness too.
O Grande Yamandu, beijado por Deus...
Welcome to the cluc of Yamandu’s admirers.
He is one of the top 10, if not the very top.
Heart and soul of the classical guitar in all its aspects - classical, folk, jazz, rhythm… all.
Thanks fir the show.
oh goodness. Thank you so much for this introduction on Yamandu Costa. So excited to listen through his extensive discography on spotify.
Yamandu is simply magic, pure magic, and his tunes and his touchè is simply marvelous Doug. A great musician, one of a kind!
One of your best reviews Doug, along with the exilerating talent of Yamandu Costa. I too am now a fan. Kudos, Marcos for delivering on such a wonderful selection. Uplifting!
He's one of my favourite guitarists. He touches the heart while fascinating the ear.
Greetings from Brazil! Thank you for this Doug! Really appreciate this reaction
O Yamandu além de ser um gênio na técnica e na harmonia, tem um desenho dinâmico raro. É de ouvir e ficar calado degustando o impacto estético!
I can't believe you got to Yamandu music!!! This makes me so happy, specially being from Brazil
hermosa ejecucion,increible arte!!! ya que miras al sur, te recomiendo a Luis Salinas de Argentna!!! eso si la musica brasilera es un mundo aparte
Our traditional Samba has benefited in a beautiful way from both, the Classical music in "Chorinho" and the influence of Jazz in Bossa Nova. That´s our true Brazilian Music
Now you've really surprised me! Never in my wildest thoughts, I expected to hear a react on Yamandú, a true genius of the instrument. You've opened up a whole new ocean of sounds here! Dive in!
Yamandu is a point out of the curve, for sure. You should take a look at some more "popular" music also, like Djavan and the ones the other Brazilian folks already posted here. You 'll be surprised
Yamadu Costa is a genuine music genius! Such beautiful music and such amazing guitar technique!
Diagonal line is a custom flare for sure. And well deserved. Could be used as a fret marker as I saw referenced below, but this dude plays with his eyes closed so...
Yamandu is one of a king. He makes me proud of being brazilian. God bless you, Yamandu!
This guy is the best guitarist period! My friend showed me him years ago. (Its a capo) but he sets his odd sometimes to pull off even more unique stuff. I love metal, and Vai and Joe, but this guy is truly from another planet. I got to hear all his stuff many times.
Vai and Joe are the best of this planet, but Yamandu is a alien!
Mestre Yamandu, um dos maiores músicos mundiais... E meu conterrâneo da cidade de Canoas....
Imagine if the guys in Polyphia get to know Yamandú. They will go nuts.
I just imagined that... It could be an interesting influence to Polyphia. They got some flamenco into their music, why not some brazilian rhythmn?
epic
@@MrJSyer Pela primeira vez na vida eles iriam se perguntar "Existe alguém em um teto tão mais alto que o nosso assim?!" ahushauhsuahsuhaus
Yamandu literalmente vive o violão, ele tem instrumentos espalhados em tudo que é cômodo da casa e certamente já passou mais tempo encostado em um violão do que em um travesseiro!
Geez! Read my mind!!!!!!🎉
Yamandú é um grande musico,sem dúvida.,A composiçao " Samba pro Rapha" ( que significa algo como "Rock to Bob") ,foi uma musica em homenagem a Raphael Rabello,um gênio do violão brasileiro,que morreu jovem,infelismente( aneurisma,se não me engano).
Obrigado pela referência Doug❤
Na verdade o Raphael Rabello contraiu HIV via transfusão de sangue. Tristes anos 80...
Ooooh my God!! Proud Brazilian here 🇧🇷
Best guitar player in the world. Period.
Doug, amazing video, as always. If you liked these, you should check out "Lamento Sertanejo" performed by Yamandu Costa (guitar), Hamilton de Holanda (mandolin) and Mayra Andrade (vocals from Cabo Verde). I cry every time I listen to it. Really a master piece.
There's a concert of Yamandu Costa with Dominguinhos, and is the most joyful musical concert of all times in my opinion.
Watch this concert here on RUclips and you will not regret.
Cheers.
Absolutely beautiful. Love just chilling to some acoustic guitar music. Thanks, Marcos. Thanks, Doug.
Yamandu é muito melhor que muitos músicos famosos no mundo inteiro, só que no Brasil não há um reconhecimento merecido a sua grandeza e versatilidade 🎸
O Brasil é cheio de musicistas excelentes, pena que os que estudam praticamente uma vida por aqui não dão valor.. é importante essa visibilidade vindo de fora do Brasil com seriedade.. te acompanho a um tempo já, e agora que não deixo de acompanhar mesmo kkkkk
I've died and gone to heaven!
If nobody has mentioned him yet may I suggest Michael Hedges for a listen too? Great playing and composition.
Beautiful. Saw him a few years ago in Vancouver. And I am always in awe of Yamadu!
Gorgeous songs! I'd never heard of Yamandu either.
wow a breath taking guitarist. thank you Doug for sharing this🔥
Absolutely beautiful music by a very talented player on an amazing instrument. Reminds me of John Williams the British classical guitarist, I wonder what John would make of his guitar or if he's ever played one!
Yamandú is a Brazilian treasure, I love him.
Thanks for sharing never heard Yamandu before. Absolutely amazing! 🎸🔥
He has a strong influence of "Choro" (style of Brazilian music) in his music, among with other styles.
Stunning effervescence of style and tone. Thanks, Doug. Beautiful virtuosity.
Yamandu is out of this world… he’s one of the few with such a God’s given talent… simply one of the GOAT
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: ruclips.net/video/Ms1BR55bOmg/видео.html Thank you, Marcos.
He is a genius, one of a kind. Proud to be Brazilian when someone recognizes our talented artists. Tks!
What a great surprise to see Yamandu in your channel, Doug.
He's a treasure. His first album, early 2000 is a masterpiece.
Keep doing the good Brazilian song and we'll all be happy (and your channel will grow really fast).
Yamandu é um mensageiro das boas vibrações e da paz, Yamandu é rei...🙏🏻🇧🇷
Yes, absolutely incredible loveley 💜stuff, tyvm for sharing 🙏
Ola amigo. Que bom que voce curtiu o Yamandu. Ele é do sul do Brasil, filho de músicos. Um verdadeiro orgulho para nós brasileiros.
You should try Arthur Verocai. Will be a mindblowing. Cheers from Brazil.
Yamandu is likely the best current acoustic guitarist I know. When I discovered he was from Brazil I was surprised.
Yamandu has a new fan here. What an incredible guitar player he is. Great reaction/analysis, Doug. Cheers.
I cried during the performance of the third song. What sensitivity!
A Latino Yngwie Malmsteen he is.
Amazing, I love Yamandu, I had the oportunity to talk with him before, such a nice guy. Im a guitarrist too. Please react to some clasical music once in while, I would love to hear your explanations over some symphonies or concertos, sonatas, etc. Take care my man.
