Great guitar player 


After thinking about it for a while, I think I have decided to talk about a great
reference for my musical development. In 2013 an accordionist friend recommended me
to listen to Yamandu Costa, a great Brazilian guitarist and composer. When I heard
his music I was impressed by his technical and musical virtuosity.

Yamandu Costa is a young musician, he is 39 years old and made his debut as an
artist when he was 17 years old in Sao Paulo. He was born into a family of musicians, his father
made gypsy music. All this possibly gave him the necessary tools to develop in
music.

His main work consists of his own compositions based on rhythms from Brazil,
Argentina and Uruguay, influenced by teachers after his father. Some rhythms that
he plays are choro, bossa nova, milonga, tango, samba, chamamé. However, he has
recently been learning other rhythms in different countries.

I think the way Yamandú Costa manages to communicate with the instrument is
admirable. His ability to interpret these rhythms, his ability to compose and
improvise with the guitar are things that I would like to develop more deeply.

About me

Hi, I'm Ignacio. I was born in November of the year 1993 in Curicó city, The Wine City! City that would not change, although it might alternate with de desert of San Pedro de Atacama. At 5 year old I entered school and I was there until I finished my secondary education. During this stage I began to learn to play guitar. I had my own music group with wich we had many adventures! After this, I moved to Santiago to Study Pedagogy in Music at "UMCE" and later I entered the Arts Faculty of University of Chile to study classical guitar, my great passion. My family core lives in Curicó and is very numerous, we became 8, my Mom and Dad, my sister, my 2 brothers and the two Kings of the house, my dog Nick and the kitty "Misty" (the most majesticly beautiful pets), but Nick is gone, so Misty sat on the Throne. This has been a great "Game of Thrones" (My other great passion).

An intense year

Hi guys, I'm going to write about my year to this day … It has really been a very intense year with many academic and work activities. This has made it a bit difficult to perfect my bouquets. This year I have 8 branches, in different faculties, so sometimes I have complicated schedules ... Since last year, in addition to the subjects, I have been working on many activities with my Guitar Duo, some of which were scheduled for this semester, concerts, recordings and tours. This semester I had the pleasure of participating in different cities of Uruguay, where we offered concerts and created an audiovisual record with the guitars of a Luthier from the City of Canelones. It was a very beautiful experience, full of musical learning and life. This is something that makes me very happy. Another thing that has given me a lot of joy is having received my degree in Music Teacher about a month ago. It was a long process, where three good friends of career participa...

My career

When I was very young I dreamed of playing the guitar, I used the broom imagining that it was a guitar and imitated the guitarists of same music bands I watched on television. Later, like many, I wanted to be a football player, then veterinarian, until I decided on music and finally on guitar. During high school, the only thing that I used to do was play music with my band and barely studied for test, which made my decision to study music evident. When I wanted to study Veterinarian Medicine, I realized that I had not interest in the Biology, but just for animals, so I keep loving animals and music. When I get in University I met many people with interest like mines, the process has been very important for music, human and spiritual stuff. Today I believe that I am in the right place to dedicate myself to music, teaching, producing and promoting it.
