Doug de Vries plays ’Uma Noite No Sumaré’ (Brazilian choro) on an Altamira Sete Cordas (7 String)

Doug de Vries plays his arrangement of ’Uma Noite No Sumaré’ on our Sete Cordas (7 String) model, featuring a low B 7th string tuning which showcases the guitar’s lower end range. A favourite from the great album ’Yamandú Valter’ (2010) by Yamandu Costa and Valter Silva. Doug de Vries is one of Australia’s foremost guitarists and a significant composer for the guitar, excelling in many musical genres, from jazz and blues to gypsy swing, choro, samba and bossa nova. He is considered Australia’s leading exponent of Brazilian guitar repertoire and recently released a solo album of original works and classic Brazilian repertoire, DdV Solo. DdV is particularly noted for his sophisticated accompaniments, deep knowledge, and daring improvisations whether in solo or group settings.
