July 27, 2009 | Fado Lisboeta - Edu Miranda Trio on YouTube
One artist we can never get tired of, Brazilian bandolimist, Edu Miranda. We posted information about him and his trio earlier (see archive). Packed with musicianship and performing skills, what grabs most is the aesthetic "abandon." These guys really enjoy playing together, and it certainly comes across in their presentation.
