Meirelles, Helena
A Rainha Da Viola Caipira
A stunning compilation of the revered Queen of The Viola Caipira, Helena Meirelles, once included in the Top 100 Worlds
guitar players by Guitar Player Magazine.
On this double-LP anthology you will face some of the most expressive Helenas creations. Guaxo, for example
contains an ultra-melodic guitar riff that will stick in your ears for ages while Mercedita has an evolving rifferama.
Saudades Do Meu Velho Pai, on the other hand, is a typical baiao, a very peculiar Northeastern
rhythm in Brazil, de-constructed by her very own style. Flor Da Guavira is a delicious caipira-ballad. These are only a
few great ones, amongst so many other exquisite, and unusual delights.
A fascinating journey into one of the lesser covered Brazilian genres, caipira, rich in folk and country music elements.
Reissued on vinyl for the first time.
