In the 1920s, it used to be said that the guitar was the “amplifier of the Brazilian soul”. Almost a century later, this metaphor remains true. In this video, we present a very specific view of the trajectory of the guitar in Brazilian society. We went back in time to trace the ancestors of our guitars and landed in the 1950s … The development of this historic itinerary took place in a privileged setting: the city of Rio de Janeiro. The great guitarists are, of course, here, as well as the art they produced – the songs and the different instrumental genres of our music.
Video made with support from FAPERJ, through the RIO 450 anos project.
