Amazing
Maurício Lago Magro | Brasil | 04/24/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you have not listened to something beyond your comprehension yet, you must have to be introduced to Yamandu Costa. With some mix of regional music from Rio Grande do Sul, Choro and Tango, and a very vivacious skill, he is, undoubtedly, one of the best players in the world. This young brazilian player plays so incredible his guitar that it's difficult to belive he is alone in the stage."
Fresh and astonishing

"I recently made a couple trips to Sao Paulo, and a friend there recommended this Yamandu Costa CD. It is amazing work. Costa was named Brazil's best guitar player a couple years ago (when he was 21). He plays a seven string guitar - which provides a different sound with a stronger bass line. The music is a unique mixture of a jazzy latin sound, flamenco, traditional classical guitar, and blues. The guitar is always very active, very dynamic. Some of the cuts have only Costa, some have a clarinet or a flute. This artist and recording will please anyone who loves the guitar."
Good, almos great

"He is beyond the shadow of a doubt one of the most promising names of world class guitar playing, and I recommend him to any guitar player or anyone with simply good taste. The CD itslef is good however it was recorded with limited funds given by a prize won by Yamandu. Because of the financial limitations, you do encounter a few cuts that seem to have been recorded in a hurry. In other words, the performes are great but the studio work is what takes that fifth missing star on he rating of this product. Good, almost great!"
