Antonio Carlos Barbosa Lima - Dez Dedos Magicos num Violao de Ouro (1957)

Hello, Good Evening! Life has been really busy down here. You cannot realize how. Anyway, it is for overall benefit for our community and part of Loronix one-year anniversary celebration. Stay tuned tomorrow, something will happen, Caetano's ideia. I'm one hundred percent sure that everybody will be amazed.

Let's start the day with a truly rare release. Actually, if Loronixers engineers do not run out of schedule, we will have another rare and breathtaking album today, you should not miss.

This is Antonio Carlos Barbosa Lima - Dez Dedos Magicos num Violao de Ouro (1957), for Chantecler, the debut album of the renowned Brazilian guitarist Carlos Barbosa Lima, recorded in 1957 when he was only 14 years old. This should be really fascinating for musicians, guitarists and fans of Carlos Barbosa Lima, which is a brilliant acoustic guitar player that has even invented techniques that no other guitarist had even tried before.

  1. Someone should have broken this kid's fingers at 14 ... He shouldn't have been allowed to play so well at that age, or ANY age...

  2. Well, someone did indeed do something evil to his left pinky. ACBL has the freakiest left hand in the planet! Check him out on Youtube. Apparently, his vengeance is writing solo guitar arrangements no one else can play. Even in his pop music repertoire there's lots of counterpoint and some quite daring technique. Don't miss him in concert if you have a chance.
