Later, he perfected his technique with Lúcio Yanel, an Argentine virtuoso who was then settled in Brazil. At the age of 17, he played at the Circuito Cultural Banco do Brasil in São Paulo  an event produced by the Tom Brazil studio. From that day onwards, he has been recognized as one of the most gifted guitar players of Brazil.</span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"> <font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">&nbsp;</span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"> <font face="Arial"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The deep intimacy between him and his 7-string guitar leave audiences in awe. Yamandu recreates the magic of music  once he touches his guitar, the sound travels through his body and soul and is almost miraculously transformed. One of the greatest geniuses of Brazilian music of all times, young Yamandu Costa is also a fascinating composer and arranger. </span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"> <b><font face="Arial" size="2">Tickets:</font></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt" align="left"> <font face="Arial" size="2"><i><span lang="EN-GB">Adults: </span></i></font> <span lang="EN-US">¬ </span><i><font face="Arial" size="2"><span lang="en-gb">20</span></font></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt"><font face="Arial" size="2"><i> <span lang="EN-GB">Friends and Supporters of the Pharos Trust: </span></i> </font><span lang="EN-US">¬ </span><i><font face="Arial" size="2"><span lang="en-gb">15</span></font></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt"><font face="Arial" size="2"><i> <span lang="EN-GB">Concessions: </span></i></font><span lang="EN-US">¬ </span><span lang="en-gb"><i><font face="Arial" size="2">15</font></i></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt"> <font face="Arial" size="2">Tickets will be available at the entrance half an hour before or at the Pharos Trust during working hours (8:00am - 5:00pm)</font></p> </BODY></HTML>
