Hailed by conductor Kurt Masur as “the Paganini of the guitar,” Grammy Award-winning artist Yamandu Costa is widely considered one of the greatest 7-string guitar virtuosos in the world. Known for his intense performances and impeccable technique, Costa brings the spirit of Brazil to life with every concert, uncovering the “soul of Brazilian music with his fingers” (The New York Times).
His name, meaning “the precursor of the waters of the world” in Tupi-Guarani, aptly reflects his profound influence on the world of guitar. With a discography that includes 17 CDs and 2 DVDs, he has collaborated with celebrated giants such as Bobby McFerrin, Pepe Romero, and Melody Gardot.
Yamandu’s performances transcend mere concerts—they are a celebration of culture intertwined with a unique ability to blend musical styles. Critics have hailed him as a prodigy and “one of the greatest guitarists of his generation.”
