Album Notes & Community Reviews

Dedicated entirely to the viola caipira鈥攁 traditional Brazilian ten-string guitar鈥攖his virtuosic instrumental album significantly elevated the prestige of regional country music. Sater combines complex, lightning-fast picking techniques with deep roots in the folk traditions of Mato Grosso do Sul, injecting a progressive, contemporary sensibility into the rustic instrumentation. The recording firmly established him as one of the premier acoustic musicians in Latin America.
