I remembered two Brazilian instrumentalists ( Ok, now, Laura?! ;-) ) who have
an "expressive" way of playing their accoustic guitars: Badi Assad ( who's also
a singer and had a jazz career in the US for some years ) and a new guy, Yamandu
Costa, an impressive musician. I tried to find a short videoclip on the Net
showing him playing but couldn't find any. On the other hand, I've found this
site I didn't know existed: www.allbrazilianmusic.com/en ( Vicky, Mike and Doris
may enjoy this link ) and, SMALL WORLD, found this article too ( won't spoil the
surprise. You've gotta go there to know what it is! ):
