Laurindo Almeida was born in São Paulo, Brazil on September 2, 1917. He was one of the very early exponents of the Brazilian Bossa Nova. I have been a big fan of Laurindo for a long time. He had an very light touch when he plucked the guitar strings. His playing always seemed so magical to me. Laurindo passed away on July 26, 1995, Van Nuys, California. In this edition of Heart Of The Guitar we are featuring Laurindo playing "One Note Samba", that was composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Needless to say, this is the best performance and arrangement of "One Note Samba" on this Planet Earth. Enjoy! Safe journeys to all the fans of Heart Of The Guitar, wherever you may be.
