Brazilian guitarist Fabiano Do Nascimento builds a luminous set from multi-string guitar, Afro-Brazilian rhythm, and spacious modern jazz.
Centered on nylon-string and multi-string guitar
Draws on samba, choro, and experimental jazz
Recorded with an intimate, highly detailed acoustic sound
For fans of Baden Powell, Arthur Verocai, Carlos Niño
In keeping with the trajectory of his previous albums, including Dança dos Tempos and Tempo dos Mestres, Ykytu follows folkloric Brasilian music, Brasilian jazz, bossa-nova and samba as experienced through the mind and able fingers of an expansive musician, this time in a minimalist, meditative manner.
“Even though this album is a bit experimental and even abstract at times, It is meant to be a calming and easy listening experience,” do Nascimento offers. “I choose to keep the songs and arrangements intentionally very bare and stripped down. Just adding few layers and colors here and there.”
