o Yamandú Costa is a truly outstanding Brazilian guitarist and composer, whose masterful performances fascinate with their breathtaking technique, and surprising strokes of genius, charisma and class.

o Costa, who hails from Rio Grande do Sul, studied the works of Baden Powell and Tom Jobim and developed an incomparable manner of playing the guitar, somewhere between genius and madness. And Yamandú Costa is like all geniuses when his fingers flash the most difficult scales at his concerts, yet with an almost bored look in his eyes: delightfully crazy, fascinating, and frighteningly good.

o With “Mafuá”, this exceptional guitarist has produced an instrumental album with his own compositions that shuttle between samba, choro and tango, music that is captivatingly rhythmical and filled with an overwhelming melodic diversity, which he decorates with explosive runs. Even though Yamandú Costa has already made several albums, “Mafuá” is his first completely solo recording.
