Monday music: Brazilian guitar duo performs "Tico Tico"

Last week we had eight hands on one instrument. This week, four.

This fantastic performance outshines the imperfect quality of the recording.

Notice in particular when the duo splits who is picking and who is fretting — that is, when the left hand of one pairs with the right hand of the other.

Could they be having any more fun doing that?

That was great, and their obvious enjoyment made it even better.

I loved it... and as much as I enjoyed the music, I love how much fun they were obviously having.

I live in Brazil, and you keep finding these amazing videos of Brazilian music. What is wrong with that picture?

Seriously,thanks for posting. It brightened my day, and gives people a positive impression of my adopted country.

This demonstrates the strength of my guitar playing skills: It always sounds best if someone ELSE is playing. (Of course in my case, that would be WITHOUT me).
