Celso Machado: Folguedo

Celso Machado orignally wrote this piece for eight guitars. After hearing our performance of his Danças populares brasileiras on our CD Da Fuga a Milonga, Celso decided to make an arrangement of Folguedo for the Zagreb Guitar Quartet. Here you can hear it in a live performance. It consists of two movements: Adagio and Folguedo.
