In an obvious wink to Pixinguinha\u2019s ch\u00f4ro “um a zero\u201d, the choice of Um a Um as title for this album evokes the meeting of Uruguayan Cecilia Siqueira and Brazilian Fernando de Lima at the International Guitar Competition of Caxias do Sul, Brazil, when they won first prize ex aequo in 2001. So, no rivalry here but a common victory decisive for both: duo on stage and couple in life, Cecilia and Fernando\u2019s destinies are now just one.<\/p>\n
The ch\u00f4ro has a distinguished ambassador in the person of Alfredo da Rocha Vianna Filho, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1897, and internationally renowned by the name \u00ab Pixinguinha \u00bb. In Um a zero (one zero), he commemorates the victory of the Brazilian football team playing against Uruguay in 1919. The unbearable suspense suffered during this historical match, until the very late goal of “El Tigre” in favor of Brazil, is expressed exuberantly in this joyous ch\u00f4ro which stands the test of time. Immortalized in 1946 on a recording where Pixinguinha plays the flute part, Um a zero seduced many other interpreters such as Jacob do Bandolim, Benedito Lacerda, Altamiro Carrilho and Gar\u00f4to. One can even hear, nowadays, this ch\u00f4ro played by musicians belonging to the classical world, far from Brazilian borders!<\/p>\n
Another great success of the Brazilian chor\u00f5es\u2019 repertoire, Andr\u00e9 de sapato novo illustrates with humor the torments suffered by its author, Andr\u00e9 Victor Correia, wearing too new shoes during a ball. The recording of this ch\u00f4ro by Pixinguinha on saxophone and Benedito Lacerda on flute in 1947 conferred to it a particular glory.<\/p>\n
Ch\u00f4ro is also present along with forr\u00f3 and bai\u00e3o in more than forty recordings crystallizing Dominguinho\u2019s musical journey. Born in 1941 in the state of Pernambuco, Jos\u00e9 Domingos de Morais is a composer, a singer and he plays on his accordion typical Brazilian music, alone or with prestigious partners such as Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Toquinho, Maria Beth\u00e2nia or Yamandu Costa with whom he recorded one of his most recent albums.<\/p>\n
To his creativity as a composer and renowned arranger, Gilson Peranzzetta adds the qualities of a versatile musician whose main instrument is the piano. Born in a family of musicians, this pure carioca broaches the ch\u00f4ro (Cheio de gra\u00e7a,1985), the bai\u00e3o (Lado a lado, 1988) and the samba (Pontes,1985) in an elegant jazzy style.<\/p>\n
Geraldo Ribeiro was born, in 1939, in the state of Bahia, in a family of farmers. He discovered the guitar as a self-taught musician before studying in S\u00e3o Paulo. Popular music and classical music mark his personal journey; he helped safeguard the work of popular guitarists such as Gar\u00f4to, Armandinho and Antonio Rago by transcribing it, recording and publishing it. Among other things, he recorded transcriptions for viola caipira of music by Bach made by Theodoro Nogueira, calling attention to this Brazilian kind of guitar that was a little neglected. Geraldo Ribeiro wrote more than 400 compositions for the guitar. He created a guitar class at Brasilia University.<\/p>\n
Eleven years younger, Paulo Bellinati learnt classical guitar with Isa\u00edas S\u00e1vio at S\u00e3o Paulo conservatory before studying in Switzerland and living there for fifteen years. His career is entirely dedicated to Brazilian music and to the different types of Brazilian guitars which he plays solo and in several groups such as the excellent quintet Pau Brasil. His compositions are inspired by lundu, ch\u00f4ro, bai\u00e3o, maxixe and other typical rhythms.<\/p>\n
C\u00e9sar Camargo Mariano is a brilliant composer, arranger and pianist. He created with Humberto Clayber (bass) and Airto Moreira (drums) the ephemeral Sambalan\u00e7o Trio which inaugurates, in 1964, the famous nightclub \u00ab Jo\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o Bar \u00bb, temple of bossa nova in S\u00e3o Paulo. He develops in a very personal way the samba-ch\u00f4ro style to which his famous compositions Cristal and Samambaia make part.<\/p>\n
Remarkable figure in the Brazilian music landscape, Radam\u00e9s Gnattali was about 25 years old when he left his birth place Porto Alegre (South Brazil) to make a living in Rio de Janeiro. He worked for many years at the R\u00e1dio Nacional, first as a pianist, then as the composer and conductor attached to the radio symphony orchestra, responsible for thousands of arrangements of popular music. Afterwards, he would occupy the same position at TV Globo for almost 20 years. This is how Radam\u00e9s Gnattali gave to posterity a large and emblematic work where classical language and popular expression dialogue in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
