Famous guitarist from Brazil, Gustavo
Guerra, has released his debut instrumental LP record, “Nada Era a
Favor” (“Against All Odds”). The record contains eleven
original tracks in approximately 50 minutes' worth of listening.
Guerra's record stands as a stupefying example of what is possible
with an electric guitar in terms of both tonal quality and
orchestration, proving that while heavy metal musicians have been
utilizing the instrument in new ways since the early seventies, it
remains possible to play it with the same versatility and
sonorousness as a classically played violin.
Gustavo Guerra, who is famous in Brazil
for being one of her top 30 guitarists in the nation, is the most
standout element of “Nada Era a Favor.” His guitaring is natural,
flawless, powerful, elegant, and charged with youthful vivacity and
verve. He does not show off, even when his riffs sound impossible,
every phrase emitting from his fingers with alacrity and precision
that is often stunning to the ear.
Still, the wonderfully surprising
characteristic of “Nada...” is in the excellence of the
songwriting. The orchestration of the record is absolutely fantastic.
The percussion is phenomenal, the bass guitar is remarkable,
keyboards are used with a creativity that hasn't been seen much in
decades, and the overall quality of the mixing and engineering can
not possibly be better. The record, in short, is likely the best
instrumental rock album to be released in many years.
Gustavo
Guerra was born in Curitiba, Brazil. He learned to play guitar at the
age of seven with his father, Buby Guerra, a professional musician,
who also co-wrote the title track “Nada Era a Favor,” as well as
“Que Nena Sos Vos.” Gustavo Guerra first gained popularity from
his Youtube channel, GGUERRA, which he started in 2006. His music
videos have been viewed by over 14 million people.
Asked
about the record, Guerra says, “My passion for music gave me the
strength to realize this dream, and now I’m very glad to share all
those feelings with my fans, friends and listeners.” To his fans he
also shares an additional message: “This album was made with lot of
passion, tears and sacrifices. Follow your dream, and believe in
yourself!”
The
LP “Nada Era a Favor” is available online worldwide beginning
February 27, 2013.
