April 2023 Playlist: Yamandu Costa

This month we feature the music of guitar virtuoso Yamandu Costa. Like our featured farm, Fazenda Recanto, Yamandu adds his unique touch and virtuosity to a long tradition. A master of the seven-string guitar raised in the musical traditions of southern Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina, his repertoire also reflects influences of choro, samba, and other Brazilian genres. In a culture where guitar virtuosity is table stakes, Yamandu’s passion, great chops, and singular musicianship set him apart.
