Aloysio de Oliveira Apresenta - Garoto & Luiz Bonfa | Genios do Violao (1996)

This is a very special post that brings together Garoto and Luiz Bonfa, two legends of an instrument that is the face of Brazil, the acoustic guitar, the violao, so important to Brazilian music and the only country that has an exclusive name for this fascinating instrument. Brazil has many Genios do Violao on an endless list, starting with Garoto, Luiz Bonfa, Joao Gilberto, Rafael Rabello, Dino 7 Cordas and several gifted musicians. Brazil is also the only country that has a different name for this fascinating instrument. Genios do Violao is a compilation organized by the legendary Aloysio de Oliveira, just before his passing in 1995. Let's see.
