Cover of the EP 'Garoto', by Marcel Powell and Daniel Migliavacca Disclosure ♫ NEWS ♬ In October 2019, Curitiba mandolinist Daniel Migliavacca invited French guitarist Marcel Powell – born in Paris, but raised in Brazil with the blessing of being the son of Baden Powell (1937 – 2000), one of the most important and referential Brazilian guitarists – to a show focused on the songs of guitarist Garoto and cavaquinho player Waldir Azevedo (1923 – 1980). It was evident at that moment, on the stage of Teatro Paiol, an affinity between the two instrumentalists perpetuated in the EP “Garoto”, scheduled to be released on July 10th on the Mills Records label. This is a live EP in which Marcel and Migliavacca play five songs from the original repertoire of Aníbal Augusto Sardinha (28 June 1915 – 3 May 1955), the guitarist and composer from São Paulo known by the stage name Garoto. Combined with the refinement of the composer's original work, the guitarist's modern and progressive touch gave the artist a passport to eternity in the history of Brazilian music. It is this timeless modernity of the composer's work that Louis Marcel Powell de Aquino – a guitarist with fast scales, already respected for his consistent discography – and Daniel Migliavacca celebrate in the five tracks of the EP “Garoto”. Opening with the samba “Lamentos do morro” (1950), the EP continues with the sophisticated samba-canção “Duas contas” (1951), approached with new harmonic paths, but without distorting the melodic approach. Following the EP, the duo performs the song “Gente humble”, whose sad melody, presented by Garoto in 1945, had the melancholy duly imprinted in the lyrics written by Vinicius de Moraes (1913 – 1980) with the collaboration of Chico Buarque and presented in 1969. The repertoire of the “Garoto” EP is completed by “Jorge do Fusa” – a choro officially released on record in 1980, but composed in 1950 by Garoto and then written by the pianist and composer Mário Albanese – and “vamos termina com o baile” (1952), another choro, this one with a boisterous touch.
