MYSTERIES OF THE PORTUGUESE GUITAR 

Mysteries of the portuguese Guitar
>> ORDER CD <<


"In this album I wanted the unique timbre of the Portuguese guitar to take the lead role, in a refreshing approach: we re-visited some classics, but most of the album explores new repertoire, featuring exclusive arrangements and original material. From a wide selection of  authors - such as Carlos Paredes, Pinho Vargas, Jobim or Charlie Haden - the album makes a singular blend of portuguese folk, guitar standards and fado, with a tint of mediterranean exoticism and jazz." 

- Rafael
