Part II

Yamandu Costa (Brazil)

Yamandu Costa is a 7-string guitar virtuoso who dazzles and mesmerises the audience with his brilliant performance and compositional imagination. A winner of many awards, including the Latin Grammy for the best instrumental album in 2021. In his music, Yamandu Costa moves freely across several stylistic areas, primarily various genres of Latin American music as well as jazz and classical music. He performs all over the world with famous orchestras and in various duets, including such music personalities as Bobby McFerrin and Richard Galliano. However, nothing mirrors the scale of his versatile talent as much as solo recitals – such as his prospective concert in Tychy.
