Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, London-based guitarist, producer, and master multi-instrumentalist Rafael Valim lives and breathes Brazilian music. From contemporary styles to the classic sounds of Samba and Bossa Nova, Valim embraces it all. In addition to o violão — or the guitar — he is proficient in cavacho, mandolin, pandeiro, cuica, caixa, zabumba, repinique, rebolo and many other traditional instruments
Valim is the man that legendary Brazilian groups like Karametade call when they tour through London, as they know he can put together the local ex-pat backing band and lead them through the set. He’s performed at most of the iconic UK venues including Hammersmith Apollo, The O2, and Ronnie Scotts, and loves introducing the sounds of Brazil to new audiences.
With this 1 hour 15 min course, you will gain a competent understanding of the traditional Brazilian guitar approach and learn about the rhythms, chord voicings and substitutions used in many genres.
