Baden Powell in Berlin 1967

The giant of Brazilian guitar documented in top form here. On this occasion, he was part of a guitar festival that took place in Berlin in 1967(French presentation is overdubbed) and was documented on the Lp you see on the right, unfortunately very hard to find now. Baden Powell is probably the greatest icon of the long and vast tradition of Brazilian guitar, which, by the way, is a world in itself. A world that in our culture is always associated with samba and bossa which are really only a part of it.

I hope you will enjoy these fantastic performances.

P.s.: can you recognize Steve Swallow on bass and Bob Moses on drums?
