Classical guitarists Émilie Fend and Goran Krivokapić perform Jongo by Brazilian guitarist and composer Paulo Bellinati (b.1950). This comes via Fend’s YouTube channel (go subscribe). Amazing performance by this new duo comprised of two of my favourite players. Their rhythmic precision, clear sound, and beautiful ensemble phrasing is top notch.
A short word via the Youtube description: “Dive into the vibrant rhythms of Brazil with Jongo by Paulo Bellinati. Rooted in Afro-Brazilian traditions, this energetic and groove-driven piece comes alive in an arrangement for two guitars, blending percussive drive, lyrical lines, and infectious rhythmic interplay.”
