João Luiz plays Villalobiana by Sergio Assad

João Luiz performs Villalobiana from 24 Studies for Guitar by Sergio Assad (b.1952). This comes via Siccas Guitars and Siccas Media program via their amazing YouTube channel. As Siccas mentions, “These études showcase a wide range of techniques related to the Brazilian guitar and also highlight the contributions of 24 Brazilian composers to the enrichment of Brazilian music.” Amazing performance by Luiz with exciting intricate lines and a fantastic musical balance bringing melodic material out of the busy texture.
