This is truly an amazing piece !!! I have 4 or 5 of their albums ,but "Casually Classic" is still my favorite and the first one I bought . I saw them in concert in the late 70's and will never forget it. By far ,the best concert I have been to. Half the concert was done in native dress,and the rest was done in formal tuxes . Thanks for posting this !
I saw them in concert in the mid-sixties. I have seen many top level guitar concerts, but I have NEVER heard a more beautiful tone than Nato Lima drew from his Rubio that evening. The album, "Casually Classic", was daring, and in fact ground breaking, when it was released by RCA. Nato Lima had few (if any!) peers as a technician, plus he played with lush, exquisite emotion. His brother, as well, was a super sensitive, first rate guitarist. This duo is unique in guitar music history.
@191747 I'm not that old, but i would have loved to have seen them. My mum had the sinlge 'Maria Elena', and i used to listen to it when i was young. Their musicallity and technique are indeed exquisite. I just wondered whether the story about them finding a guitar on a rubbish heap as poor boys, and teaching themselves was true, or that in fact they were fairly wealthy and had a classical music training? Doesn't matter either way when you listen to them, but i'm interested
@leadadde It is my understanding that there is a degree of truth to the brothers finding a guitar, but the story has been fictionalized as well. Somewhere there is an interview with Nato, and he speaks of this. Obviously, the brothers later must have had some deep musical experiences, and one would assume, training, to play the classical rep. as they did. As I recall, they were not wealthy, and life was very difficult for them as children, and they came from a more or less tribal background.
@191747 I've listened to loads of versions of 'Pajaro Campana', but theirs stands alone. I wonder if they had been in the rock sphere they would have been held in regard like Hendrix or Clapton. Thanks for the info, i like the idea of a found guitar, true or not
@191747 It is a shame that the books on classical guitarists never mention them, probably because the majority of their albums were considered easy listening/pop. The reason they were eventually dropped by RCA was because in the mid 80s, radio phased out the "easy listening" format...and ALL the record labels dropped the artists whose albums were in this category. Today, this music is considered "exotica"...but Los Indios were playing "World Music" before there was even a name for it!
@Pickinbuddy Thanks for you comments, my friend. It is very interesting to me how rarely truly great talent is properly understood and recognized. At least, for a time, Los Indios was played on the radio, and I remember seeing them on the Carson show in the mid 60s. A great cultural change happened as the decade progressed, and certain "sensibilities" were lost. Segovia himself was dropped from RCA. But in time the truth of things will come out. It is beginning to happen even now.
@Pickinbuddy They aren't, strictly speaking, classical guitarists. The are playing classical guitars but people like Segovia, Bream, Williams would play most of Los Indios' music on one guitar and you wouldn't miss the other guitar. Also, the one playing melody is using a flat pick, an embarrassment to any true classical guitarist. They could no more play Sor, Guiliani, or Tarrega than they could flap their arms and fly. All that being said, they play beautiful music, just not "classical".
@giscone Not so--I recommend their last CD: "Notable Notes" where they play their unique world premiere of Paganini's Moto Perpetuo, Op. 11 as well as "Hora Staccato"; "Allegro Guisto; "Fantazie Impromptu", and Tais (Meditation) what makes their transcriptions unique is that the solo guitar is tuned a whole step higher and has extra treble frets and a Cello string for the bass 6th string as a low "A". Using this system they played classical piano pieces a guitar couldn't come close to playing!
@giscone How sad that you are so caught up in labeling things that you fail to recognize beautiful human spirit, musicianship and talent! Los Indios Tabajaras are classical musicians, they perform classical pieces and you are absolutely wrong: many of the things they play as a duo could not be performed as a solo without losing harmony or clarity.
@perseus07 Actually, they did study classical guitar professionally in Mexico after they had gotten out of the Brazilian Army. It was while in the Army that the learned to read and write, speak the Portugese language, wear clothes...and eat regular food...as incredible as this sounds! Nato Lima himself told me this!
Beautiful. It is a proof that Chopin's music is really international.
