Lalo de La Carpio on Afro-Brazilian Guitarist Celso Machado: 'Performance art at it's finest.'


“Brazilian guitar virtuoso. Percussion, bird calls, dude even made it sound like a thunderstorm in the National Theater. Performance art at it's finest. Did I mention amazing guitar?” (Celso Machado, b. 1953, an Afro-Brazilian guitarist and composer who is now a Canadian, is profiled at AfriClassical.com)
Comment by email: Thanks Bill, Celso is just returning from a great series of master classes and concerts in Cosa Rica which is where this guy saw him. He had a wonderful time there. See the info below. Jessica Machado (XVI Festival Internacional de Guitarra de Costa Rica 2009, http://www.festivalguitarra.com/)
