Flavio Henrique Medeiros_Brazilian Rhythms For Solo Guitar

Co-authored by a pair of native Brazilian guitar players, this book features ten solo pieces highlighting Brazil’s most prominent popular musical styles and rhythms: maxixe, choro, samba, bossa nova, frevo, baião, xote, afoxé, guaraní, and lambada. Each genre is thoroughly examined, breaking down its unique formal structure, melodic and rhythmic patterns, cultural and regional roots, key historical figures, and traditional instrumentations. Every arrangement is presented in both standard notation and guitar tablature, with the included CD containing performances of all ten tracks by the authors themselves.
