There is infinite charm and appeal in a guy sitting down with a guitar, when he inhabits a style so fully. These days most commercial single acts (or bands for that matter) always follow some kind of stylistic gesture without taking possession of it. Luiz totally OWNS what he plays, he makes it his own. I firmly believe that the main reason for this is his technical prowess (such an amazing guitarist), whereas today's commercial numbers are EASY. It's the 'anybody can play guitar' syndrome.
Ahhh, THIS is that song as heard on Danny Glover's transistor radio in the film "Blindness" - I would not have found this lovely song if not for watching that film last night and squinting at the credits!
Luiz Bonfa ... He's simply fabulous!!!!
