Brazilian guitarist Fabiano do Nascimento has released his latest album, Vila, collaborating with the 16-piece Vittor Santos Orquestra. This record showcases Nascimento's distinctive musical style, characterized by a dextrous blend of finger-picked melody and percussive strumming.
Across Vila's eleven tracks, Nascimento's guitar work integrates fluidly with the orchestra's varied dynamics. Conductor Vittor Santos's arrangements draw inspiration from the rich, bossa-influenced orchestrations of fellow Brazilian Arthur Verocai, resulting in layered harmonies.
The album offers imaginative mood music, focusing on sweeping string lines and alternating between metallic picking and warm guitar strumming. Nascimento demonstrates impressive virtuosity, particularly on 'O Tempo (Foi o Meu Mestre)', where he transitions between tempos with grace.
