Ensaio de escola de samba (Dança dos Escravos) / Kalimba (Lua Cheia) / Cavaquinho / Bianca / Dança No. 1 / 10 Anos / Lundu (azul) / Frevo / Selva Amazônica – Pau Rolou Recordings 1977-1995 The complexity of Brazil, its interweaving of cultures, finds its echo in the music of Egberto Gismonti who draws on resources both “sophisticated” and “primitive”- from European classical music to the samba school to the music of the Xingu Indians and the sounds of the rainforest, from folk musics, from jazz. Highly trained as a pianist, Gismonti adapted pianistic technique in innovative manner on his customised 8- and 10- and 14-string guitars. It is his guitar artistry which is at the forefront of his :rarum collection.
