At age fifteen, Costa began to study southern Brazilian folk music, as well as the music of Argentina and Uruguay.

I love all of the rythmic variations and everything that he's added. Keeps the melody but changes everything else. I think that's something that I enjoy a lot when someone adds their own flavor.

Genius. And then some. I always show people this song performed by Yamandu when he was younger along with a youth orchestra, then I show them this video for comparison. They’re about 15 years apart. It’s a good intro if they’re hearing him for the first time.
Thanks!

Música boa não tem prazo de validade e nem estraga com o tempo!!!

Sou fã do Yamandu desde que conheço!
Na minha opinião o melhor violinista deste planeta!
Não me canso de assistir.
