Description

Out-of-print for decades, ZOHO is proud to re-release the rare early LPs by master guitarist Carlos Barbosa-Lima on CD.

When I was seven years old, I had an almost casual, but lucky start on playing guitar. My father Manoel Carlos was taking guitar lessons with Benedito Moreira, although without making much progress. Meanwhile, I was watching the lessons with big interest and started to play, learning what my father didn't. When my interest in studying guitar had become obvious to my parents, I was given the opportunity to continue the lessons, as my father quit. From age seven to ten, I made fast progress, and also learned basic music theory. My repertoire started to grow rapidly.

At age ten, when I was at a music store in Sao Paulo, I met Luis Bonfá (1922 - 2001), the internationally known guitarist and composer. Bonfá immediately told my father that I had a special talent and that I should continue my studies with the great Isaias Sávio (1900 - 1977), who had also been Bonfá's guitar teacher years before when Bonfá was a teenager. Sávio graciously accepted me as his student, telling me that I needed to change my right hand technique, and he provided me with a solid musical foundation.

My solo concert hall debuts in Sao Paulo (November 1957) and Rio de Janeiro (March 1958) were successful. The programs of my concerts were conceived by Sávio, with repertoire ranging from classical to contemporary, including Brazilian. An immediate interest developed from the Chantecler label, initially part of the RCA Brazil label group, to record with me. My first recording sessions were held at a studio in downtown Sao Paulo, in July 1958. It became the first LP both of the new label and of myself, entitled Dez Dedos Magicos [Ten Magic Fingers].
O Menino e o Violao [The Boy and the Guitar], my second LP, followed in 1959. After having been out of print for over 40 years, they were released by the ZOHO label in August 2015 under the title
