Roland Dyens - Berimbau by Baden Powell (arrangement by Roland Dyens)

[akasuki1994]

does anyone know where to buy or obtain the sheet music for this

[albertogambirasio]

Pouca música e muito ruído.

[rosecigar]

smells like the opium.

[ZRMDMK]

RESPECT!!!

[gtrs4life]

I listened without watching, it is extraordinary! The rhythm, development and form, spot on.

[gigapancho17]

yo si me duermo con esto

jajaja

[viarnay]

He makes a mistake in 2:20 but this version is full of chromatism and the arrangament is simply brilliant he pushes the guitar to higher level. No doubt Mr. Roland is the top three guitarist in the world but I can't find the two others :-).

[viarnay]

Roland dyens is a visionary and a genius

[luigeovane]

MADE IN BRAZIL AND PLAYED BY THE WORLD. "BERIMBAU(BADEN POWELL/VINICIUS DE MORAES)

Step up to the next level......................

[orlando1margot]

ademas, me parece por la clase de comentarios tan ignorantes que aquellos que critican no han oido en su vida lo que es un berimbau, los exhorto a que busquen a percusionistas como naná vasconcelos y sus interpretaciones del berimbau, escuchen esa sonoridad, y luego escuchen este arreglo (de lo que deberian saber, es guitarra contemporanea) y diganme si me equivoco al decir que este hombre es un genio al transmitir el alma ( oparte de ella) del berimbau a la guitarra. aprendan a oir y sentir.

[orlando1margot]

a todos los ignorantes y pelafustanes que se atreven a decir que roland dyens es un "excentrico" de la guitarra y que sus composiciones recientes son solo "efecticos" los invito primero a conocer la extensa obra de este señor que no solo es un gran guitarrista, conpositor y arreglista, sino un señor musico en el sentido mas extenso de la palabra, quisiera ver a alguien de los que critica hacer una 16 parte de lo que ha hecho este hombre.

[Dhammawitt]

They should invent a Berimbau instrument that way we don't have to play it on guitar.

[dabuttareo]

@Dhammawitt Lol, the Berimbau IS ALREADY an instrument

[Dhammawitt]

@dabuttareo (my point)

[dabuttareo]

@Dhammawitt oh, ok. hard to understand sarcasm from here. Anyway my comment will answer all the people who don't know :P

[raymondlinaresavila]

JUST EXTRAORDINARY!! UFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!

[raymondlinaresavila]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! GREAT!!!! 

[rawrgDX]

Awesome! Thanks Roland for being unlike any other guitarist out there! I think when classical guitarists yearn for something more, they ascend to virtuosos like Dyens. Thanks for the vid! XD

[Boldstrummer]

He is imitating what a Berimbau Sounds like. Just like Baden Powell did but differently. Bravo Roland!

[ErikaRagazzi01]

Very nice, 5 stars ★★★★★

[yellowbrickroadss1]

One man and his guitar -- you can't beat it !!

[duderock009]

man this is not his own composition and all that he wants is to evocate the berimbau, through the effects . all this effects take the place of the original sompositions human voice . srry for my english im from romania. .

[PIERRONIOKI]

i push the dislike button before i see this shit !

[rogeelaster]

Dear Roland!

What has happened?

I used to like your compositions and performances - years ago.

But since about 8 years you're often bogged down with stupid little eccentric effects:

Either you're trying some weird polyrhythms - which you can actually play in a forced academic manner, BUT which you DO NOT FEEL.

Or you're fooling around with some tapping and effects that goes NOWHERE.

Example: In this performance you bore with an intro that has tapping, 3 notes and and a bit of vibrato. Boring.

[rogeelaster]

To put it briefly: The MUSICAL creativity that you once had (plus using a few good effects - where appropriate), has today changed into

... Very little musical substance, filled up with an overuse of effects, overemphasis on forced "academic" rhythms, and eccentric nothingness:

taca-taca-taca-taca ding-da-ding dong ding ...

Tango en Skaï, then Libra Sonatine (1986), then Hommage à Villa-Lobos (1987) ....

were an interesting start, not genius but good enough. But later you've only gotten worse

[rogeelaster]

To put it more clearly: I really liked those old works

Tango en Skaï, then Libra Sonatine (1986), then Hommage à Villa-Lobos (1987)

And I liked them not because of effects, but because of their spirit.

But today I don't like your newer works or your concerts because any spirit is gone, and replaced by eccentric this, eccentric that...

Today you're only eccentric. Nothing else.

[anarubric]

@rogeelaster i guess you disrespect something really innovative,,,call it eccentric because you listen to something unusual???you mean that something full of effects n unusual stuff lacks in spirit n expression???

[cotts19]

@rogeelaster Question Roge. What is it about this performance that so annoys you? I don't get it. We all loved of course the early music, the genius which suddenly appeared upon our horizon, the somehow incomprehensible magic of Dyens' music. His Hommage and Nuages and Tangos - we were spell bound. And you are right. It was the spirit of those pieces which captivated.

So now, when this great musician is (still) expanding, trying to grow and create something new, something that makes him

[bizarkid]

@rogeelaster you guys didn't understand. Type berimbau on google, and you will understand! berimbau is the ancestor of guitar, and dyens just suceeded reproducin the sound of a bobre (or berimbau).

You suck.

[cotts19]

@rogeelaster (to continue) that makes him grow and become a better guitarist and musician and artist, you want to shoot him down because you perhaps do not understand. Spirit is gone, seriously? Eccentric, really? Come on Roge. Listen. Listen to what is being played, not to your prejudices. This is a musician at the peak of his powers expanding into places that challenge him. We are but along for the ride. He is not playing to please you particularly, but to first please himself.

[MrMaxroach]

@rogeelaster Did you actually watch the rest of it? Plus, if you're not as good a musician as him, then I suggest you become one, and then maybe we'll all listen to your opinion.

[FiatObscuritas]

@rogeelaster classic guitar is not for you my DEAR friend

[VietnamAirForce]

I prefer the baden's version. But that original. (c'est toujours un peu tiré par les cheuveux ses trucs. Plus preuves ils y en a qui sont tombés en haut de son crânes.)

[coralgrouper]

@VietnamAirForce

tu sais ce que c'est un berimbau???

[VietnamAirForce]

@coralgrouper Oui. Pourquoi?

[coralgrouper]

@VietnamAirForce

alors tu n'a pas compris le truc, ou plutot ça ne te fait rien, donc ton commentaire est nul

[VietnamAirForce]

@coralgrouper Je vois où tu veux en venir. Je me dis musicalement que je préfère la version de Baden Powell. Ce que fait RD n'est pas inappréciable. Mais lui recherche plus des sons qu'une mélodie. Certes des sons similaires à un Berimbau. Mais de là à dire que je dois ressentir quelque chose au fond de moi...

[coralgrouper]

@VietnamAirForce

lui recherche des sons plus qu'une mélodie..sur CE morceau

tu as écouté tout le rste? tous ses autres arrangements chaque fois meilleurs que les originaux?

[VietnamAirForce]

@coralgrouper Sois pas prompte fieu! Je n'ai critiqué que ce morceau! En l'occurrence ici je amoindri pas le travail de Roland Dyens. D'ailleurs j'en ai apprécié d'autres qui étaient plus à mon goût. Et je te laisse faire la différence entre écouter ce "Berimbeau by RD" et jouer ce "Berimbeau by RD". Évidemment l'écart est grand. Et oui j'ai écouté le reste, et pareil. Ca ma plu ou déplu! Mais sur les vidéo d'un guitariste tel RD je ne clique jamais sur "I don't like this".

[coralgrouper]

@VietnamAirForce

eh beh alors ;)

[nikosz66]

Music genious!

Juste mélange de modernité et de tradition. Merci d'avoir partagé.

[claudeMomboBaros]

Astucieux, joueur, toujours dans l'esprit : tel je trouve Roland Dyens dans la réécriture et dans l'interprétation de ce standard.

[Blobule]

He's the best ever.

[amusiathread]

Roland Dyens is the epitome of an artist. He is at the forefront of advancing his art, yet he never loses sight of its past traditions.

[Guitarrista]

¿Alquién sabe donde puedo encontrar esta partitura?.

Gracias

[GuitarMaster2410]

Los arreglos de Roland, originalísimos y sacando todo el partido a la guitarra. Ante todo, genialmente interpretados por él mismo.

[chenyiaiping]

by the way he looks a little bit like baden powell

[lupoluke]

no words....

[JaveZ3]

Qué madres es esto!!!!!! Impresionante

[bspreston]

Dyens with his arrangement made this music originally wrote for guitar sound closer to the brazilian instrumment ( berimbau ) than Baden Powell ( the brazillian composer that wrote the original music ) could do.

Amasing.

[carlos50105]

fantastic

[agamelo]

Amazing!!!!!!

[CassianoWeissheimer]

lack Brazilian swing

[wucharnboon]

OOPS!!!

Maestro Dyens did it again

[shoksurf]
