Rafael Rabello in 3 (Tributo a Garoto, Sete Cordas, and interpreta Radames Gnattali)

Some information here discogged:

Brazilian guitarist (7 strings guitar), arranger and composer (1962 - 1995). Brother of singer Amélia Rabello and cavaquinho player Luciana Rabello. He started his professional career in 1976 as guitarist with "Os Carioquinhas", with his sister Luciana and Paulo Alves. Later he changed from 6-strings guitar to 7-strings, influenced by Dino 7 Cordas,

In 1978 the band split-up and in 1979 he formed Camerata Carioca, with members from Os Carioquinhas plus Luís Otávio Braga on guitar.

He also started to work as session man, playing in more than 400 recordings. During the 1980s and 1990s he was considered one of the best acoustic guitar players in the world and played with many famous artists, such as Tom Jobim, Ney Matogrosso, Paulo Moura and Paco de Lucia.

The style is almost excruciatingly perfected and professional with an amazingly gentle touch and impressive exactitude. We have a mixture as you might expect of more tropical sounds with chamber classical guitar playing. The music reminds me a lot of the Brazilian guitarist I raved about earlier called Geraissati posted back there.

From the 1982 Tributo album, Enigmatico is just perfectly played:

In short some really lovely music here to discover.
