Saudade

Brazilian classical guitarist Plínio Fernandes presents his debut album Saudade. Brimming with youthful excitement and enchanting lyricism, the album reveals an artist full of heart and wide-ranging expression. A love letter to his home country, Saudade presents his two passions: the popular songs of Brazil and the classical tradition of Villa-Lobos. The result is an entrancing collection of works for solo guitar featuring duets with 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.
