In this #worldwednesday episode of #thedailydoug, I'm taking a look at music by Brazilian guitarist/composer Yamandu Costa. This music comes to us via recommendation today by Guest DJ Marcos. We're listening to Lapa Hora Zero, Samba Pro Rapha, and Carinho. I love these sounds, both for their compositional ingenuity and for the expert playing by Yamandu. I hope you enjoy!

Ola doug !!!
Obrigado 🙏 pelo carinho !!!!
Viva música ! Bendita música
Comment from the man himself.
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!
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!
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
Wow!
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
great no words moment that worth!
Única pessoa famosa que encontrei em aeroporto foi o Ratinho. Very unfortunate.
@@krautgazer Uh oh.... meus sentimentos
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.
We appreciate it, sir! If you want to, try to listen to Fabio Lima, he's also amazing at acoustic guitar and more!
as a brazilian i loved your comment
@@beatrizrocha8933 Thank you Beatriz...much love from the UK!
@@magmasunburst9331 you should try and listen to Elis Regina
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 CZcams videos of the two playing together.
That concert happen in my city: watch?v=RTCt71xB5Cs
E eu estava lá
One could spend a lifetime exploring Brazilian music and never be tired of it.
That's what brazilians usually do hahaha
Amen to that 🙌
That's exactly how I'm spending my life.
just ignore most of the mainstream music and ya'll find true gems...
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.
I've been playing for over 50 years, and watching this guy, I feel like I've learned nothing.
An incredible player !!!!
Guitarist for 46 years, rock and pop, these classical guys always leave me feeling vastly inferior, and this gentleman is among the best I've seen
@@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.
@@EduardoRiter bah tche! kkkk
He plays since he wad 7 years old
You are not the only one in this situation (if that brings any comfort to you, ...LOL). Yamandu is really impressive.
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 Costa is right now the best guitar player in the world as far as I'm concerned
Andrès Segovia already passed away, but not John Williams, nevertheless... I agree that Yamandu is in the same level as the historical Guitar Masters - czcams.com/video/DlGEeMf9vA4/video.html&ab_channel=Andr%C3%A9sSegovia-Topic
Yeah. No one else can even come close to him.
Uhh..Vicente Amigo?
A música brasileira é um caminho sem volta... Desfrutem!
Desfrutem!!!
É isso!!!!
Concordo!
Lindo comentário.😊
des
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.
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
@@billebs Acho que no caso desses abençoados, essa semente já tava no chip. Saudações
Mandou bem de mais, Marcão! Valeuu
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.
Wtf.. He made me cry. Great musician. Thank you
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.
Witch peace?
O homem que aprendeu o ofício por obrigação de um pai e que se tornou o melhor violonista do mundo. Inigualável.
This man got a standing ovation by Paco de Lucia, who was at his concert just to meet him, even being one of Yamandu greatest influences.
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!
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.
True🍷🥂🫂👍
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 :)
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
There’s a concert in which Paco de Lucia was at the audience and at the he stood up and clapped to Yamandu. That gesture alone tells loads!
This one: watch?v=RTCt71xB5Cs
Well, to be fair, Paco stood and clapped because Yamandu told the audience he was there, so there is that...
@@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 ...
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.
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:
czcams.com/video/eyQhTsbiY-g/video.html
Another great chorinho (they are all great) by Ernesto is "Odeon":
czcams.com/video/GpvzVLcMPp4/video.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.
@@Pebo62 Yamandu also says it is an ice breaker with other guitar players, everybody asks him about it and he can engage in conversation
The guitar is actually made by a Canadian luthier called Will Hamm, you can find the Yamandú Signature model on his website.
Yamandu has had formal training, at least some
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! 😂
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...
I consider Yamandu the best guitarist of today. He is astonishing!
Yamandu!
O Love his performance!
A Genius!!!
Thanks for your considerariam!
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.
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.
I'm from Brazil.
This is hard hard study, not streets
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.
Absolutamente genial!
É de tirar o fôlego!
🎉🎉❤❤
This man is like an encyclopedia for music. The best expertise we have in the Tube.
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.
the detail on the fretboard is purely aesthetic, a Luthier signature. the instrument was produced in Alberta Canada. Developed from Yamandu's own specifications.
The best guitar player in the world! There is so much emotion on his playing. It is insane!!!!!!
One of the greatest of our time! Thanks for giving Yamandu a listen.
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.
Yep, he hv said before that he does it just for giggles of making people intrigued
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" :)
As a Brazilian living abroad this made me cry. 😅
Saw him play once in my homecity, Recife. Amazing experience.
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..
Definitely going to add this incredible musician to my Spotify list. What an amazing guitarist. Bravo!
Poucas coisas atualmente fazem a gente sentir orgulho de sermos Brasileiros, uma delas é o YAMANDU.
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 ❤️👍🏿🇲🇽
It's great, I'm a huge fan of Yamandú . Greetings from Brazil! Another great suggestionn for you, Mr. Doug: Egberto Gismonti.
Sim!
A música comercial brasileira atual não é das melhores, mas os artistas que muitas vezes não estão na grande mídia fazem a gente ter orgulho de nossa música. Os elogios do Doug são de arrepiar aqueles que além de ouvir a música consegue senti-la.
Os olhos de Doug não mentem...
Ele está emocionado como eu.
Obrigado pelo vídeo!🎉🎉❤❤
Yamandú is the best result of generations of amazing brazilian guitarrists. I'm thinking in Guinga now. With Yamandú the bar continues to rise.
He is amazing. I’ve just added his music to my music library
Discovered yamamdu only a few months ago myself. And I’m a classical guitar player. Glad to see him getting some recognition. Take care.
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 world should look to Brazil with attention!! You know "Chorinho"? czcams.com/video/whnu7ngP0xc/video.html&ab_channel=sonhosesons
Yamadu Costa is a genuine music genius! Such beautiful music and such amazing guitar technique!
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!
Thanks Doug, and thanks Marcos for introducing me to this incredible artist. I am always looking for great music from across the globe.
Yamandú is a Brazilian treasure, I love him.
Man oh man. Stunningly excellent. Last tune was love.
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!
Yamandu said in an interview something like: It is for people to ask ;)
Fret markers. Just a fancy version
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.
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.
I cried during the performance of the third song. What sensitivity!
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 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!!
Lucas- Jose Feliciano a bit?
My god you are the best reactor on the web, easily
Brilliant Doug!
Saudações portoalegrenses....é até divertido ver a cara de espanto de quem nunca ouviu o Mestre Yamandu antes....Realmente um prodígio.
Pensei a mesma coisa 🤭
Sim!! Viva a música!
Dale gaudério... Mas bha tchê!!!
Ooooh my God!! Proud Brazilian here 🇧🇷
oh goodness. Thank you so much for this introduction on Yamandu Costa. So excited to listen through his extensive discography on spotify.
Thank you for your brillant "living in" of Yamandu Costa ....am also his admiror...an hug from Moçambique...
Yamandu has a new fan here. What an incredible guitar player he is. Great reaction/analysis, Doug. Cheers.
Joao Gilberto,Hermeto Pascoal,Toninho horta,Egberto Gismonti,Milton Nascimento...Welcome to Brasil!
Não pode faltar Baden , jamais rs
I can't believe you got to Yamandu music!!! This makes me so happy, specially being from Brazil
Its a pleasure listening Yamandú... amazing.
I’m so glad you had the chance to know Yamandu’s work.
Yamandu is pure talent! Amazing!!
It's amazing to see someone discovering Brazilian music. The circle of fifths, the modal borrowings, the voicings, this type of stuff is what samba, choro, baião and bossa nova is all about! Non-brazilians find it intricate (and it actually is) but this approach to harmony is how we learn down here! I think all musicians should give brazilian music a listen, it's beautiful and rich. And of course, Yamandu is a master!
Yamandu is out of this world… he’s one of the few with such a God’s given talent… simply one of the GOAT
Além da técnica incomparável do Yamandu, sua musicalidade e feeling parecem não ter fim! É sempre um acorde mais bonito que o outro, lindas melodias e uma dinâmica e rítmica absurda! Ele é uma verdadeira orquestra! Um orgulho ser brasileiro e ter o Yamandu como um tesouro da nossa música!
He's one of my favourite guitarists. He touches the heart while fascinating the ear.
Yamandu is one of those things that makes us proud to be brazilians, One out of many many things! He's a monument of our vast, VAST musical traditions!
Yamandu is one of a king. He makes me proud of being brazilian. God bless you, Yamandu!
Yamandu is likely the best current acoustic guitarist I know. When I discovered he was from Brazil I was surprised.
Yamandu is simply magic, pure magic, and his tunes and his touchè is simply marvelous Doug. A great musician, one of a kind!
Gorgeous songs! I'd never heard of Yamandu either.
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
Yes, he's incredible. Awesome composition and performance. Virtuoso!
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!
Greetings from Brazil! Thank you for this Doug! Really appreciate this reaction
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...
Not only hearing beautiful music but feeling it in equal measure.
As you asked, the diagonal line in the guitar scale is just a fancy aesthetic detail inlaid in his guitar ♡ viva yamandu ♡
Beautiful. Saw him a few years ago in Vancouver. And I am always in awe of Yamadu!
wow a breath taking guitarist. thank you Doug for sharing this🔥
I've never heard of him. Sounds amazing!
Hello, Doug! This is my first time in your CZcams channel and it was a real pleasure to see you commenting Yamandu Costa music. I'm Brazilian and from the same state he is. Yamandu is an extraordinary musician! Thanks a lot!
If I may give you a suggestion, look for old videos (1970s and on) of another astounding Brazilian guitarist called Baden Powell (yes, that's his name - his father was a huge fan of the original Baden Powell).
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...
Thanks for introducing me to this amazing guitarist
Que orgulho de ser gaúcho!! Muito Grato pelo carinho Doug.
😎🇧🇷 🧉 👍🏻
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...
Yamandu is a brazilian treasure.
Yes, absolutely incredible loveley 💜stuff, tyvm for sharing 🙏
He is a genius, one of a kind. Proud to be Brazilian when someone recognizes our talented artists. Tks!
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 🎸
Yamandu is a genius and a very humble man. Thanks, Doug!
Porra eu choro com meu Brasil, porque se perdeu onde esta vc Brasil da musica e do amor?!
a new musician to listen too thanks for the ears on this Yamundo is great .
i had the pleasure of enjoy a Yamandu show last summer in Spain and it was an absolutely superb gig. hands down one of the best guitarist of todays scene
Thanks for sharing never heard Yamandu before. Absolutely amazing! 🎸🔥
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!
I met him through YT in 2014 checking out 7 string nylon guitars reviews so I got with a concert of him and I fell in love with his feeling and technique. Im a follower since then and I love how he looks so childish and joyful in his playing style. He still being a young boy in big fun with his guitar.
A great guitarist , obviously . I love how Brazilian music is so fluid rhythmically .
