About the album

Tristeza on Guitar, according to DoReSol

Among the standout pieces is the title track, Tristeza, a composition that conveys an enveloping melancholy through Powell's strings. We also find Canto de Ossanha, a piece that resonates with the richness of Afro-Brazilian music, and the interpretation of 'Round About Midnight, showcasing his ability to approach jazz standards with his personal style. The album, with its ten tracks, offers a journey through the sensitivity and technique of this notable musician.

Baden Powell's career, born in Varre-Sai in 1937, was marked by an early dedication to the violão, starting at the age of seven. His training included lessons with figures like Jayme Florence and early exposure to the music world through radio programs. This foundation laid the groundwork for his development as one of the most recognized violonists of his time, leaving a musical legacy that continues to inspire.
