Plínio Fernandes - Saudade (CD)

Brazilian guitarist from São Paulo, Brazil. Studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London with a full scholarship funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Education. Plínio’s debut album ‘Saudade’ is a love letter to Brazil and presents Plínio’s two passions: the popular songs of Brazil/Latin America, and the classical tradition of Villa-Lobos. Guest artists include Maria Rita, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and Braimah Kanneh-Mason. Most songs were arranged – some for the very first time for classical guitar – by Sérgio Assad (of the legendary Assad Brothers guitar duo). Recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
