Salsa
Palatimba (CH) 12 musiciens	Latin Soul Band	all the year
LO MÀS DURO, le nouvel album de PALATIMBA, est l’aboutissement de plus d’une année de travail assidu et passionné. Il est aussi le résultat d’une profonde mutation de ce groupe créatif et ambitieux. Un album au goût unique, fruit de la collaboration de trois individus, aux parcours très différents, que l’amour des musiques africaines et cubaines a réunis. Parallèlement à la réalisation du CD, une nouvelle formation live est réunie. Depuis septembre 2007, c’est donc un nouveau PALATIMBA (re)composé de douze musiciens qui déboulent sur les scènes suisses avec dans les mains un set explosif !

Yamandú Costa

Brazil

7 strings guitar

solo, duo or trio project

May-July 08

It's not an exaggeration to call Yamandú Costa a prodigy on the guitar. Born in Rio Grande do Sul in 1980, Yamandú plays the "violão de 7 cordas" since he was seven and started to improvise even before his tenth birthday. Because he had to, he studied music theory, but his heart is with playing, improvising and paying tribute to Latin American music, with an emphasis on Brazilian music culture. Astor Piazzolla is one of his influences, as well as Armandinho, Jobim, Radamés Gnatalli and Reinhard Django. Today, Yamandú is one of the few composers of contemporary "gaucho" instrumental music.
