Yamandu Costa & Hamilton De Holanda "Live!" (Adventure Music, 2011)
(Produced by Richard Zirinsky, Jr.)
A zippy live album featuring cavaquinho whiz Hamilton De Holanda and seven-string guitarist Yamandu Costa in a whirlwind set of Brazilian choro music. All but one of the tunes are originals by Costa and/or De Holanda but they match he intensity and melodic wit of choro classics by artists such as Jacob do Bandolim, Luperce Miranda and Turibio Santos
