Geraldo Vespar - Eu e o Violao (1968)

Geraldo Vespar, Maestro, arranger, composer, and guitarist is truly a genius. A musician that influenced several generations through years. As guitarrist, an innovator, positioned at the same level as Baden Powell and others. I'm making something different with this post making available a link to the song Diz que Fui por Ai (Ze Ketti / Hortencio Rocha) with Nara Leao and Geraldo Vespar on guitar from the LP Nara (1964), for Elenco.

Geraldo Vespar plays with a single percussion accompaniment, starting a new style of playing. Make a try; even if you are not a musician, you will be pleased with Vespar guitar backing Nara.

This is Diz que Fui por Ai:

This is Geraldo Vespar - Eu e o Violao (1968), for Parlophone, another release provided by Caetano Rodrigues that I was saving for the right time, but several Loronix friends were requesting this LP, which is not easy to find, and I could not wait longer. Such beautiful that is self-explanatory, nothing can go wrong with Eu e o Violao. Tracks include:
