Sonho de Magia by João Pernambuco

Sonho de Magia by João Pernambuco. Played by Phil McKelliget on a Masaru Kohno guitar. I must admit to having a soft spot for the music of João Pernambuco: it’s lyrical and light and very playable. Pernambuco earned his living as an ironworker but in his spare time improvised on guitar as part of a Chôros, a Brazilian street ensemble similar in constitution to a jazz band. Later the term Chôros came to mean the actual music played or, indeed, any composition in the Brazilian style. Pernambuco was a friend of the great Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos who quoted the first bar of Sonho de Magia in his 5th Prelude as a tribute to the older man. It was Villa Lobos who was largely responsible for transcribing Pernambuco’s improvisations and committing them to paper for posterity. Joao Pernambuco died in poverty in 1947.
