Meirelles, Helena

A Rainha Da Viola Caipira

A stunning compilation of the revered Queen of The Viola Caipira, Helena Meirelles, once included in the Top 100 Worlds guitar players by Guitar Player Magazine. On this double-LP anthology you will face some of the most expressive Helenas creations. Guaxo, for example contains an ultra-melodic guitar riff that will stick in your ears for ages while Mercedita has an evolving rifferama. Saudades Do Meu Velho Pai, on the other hand, is a typical baiao, a very peculiar Northeastern rhythm in Brazil, de-constructed by her very own style. Flor Da Guavira is a delicious caipira-ballad. These are only a few great ones, amongst so many other exquisite, and unusual delights. A fascinating journey into one of the lesser covered Brazilian genres, caipira, rich in folk and country music elements. Reissued on vinyl for the first time.
