"A Rainha da Viola Caipira" is a captivating CD by Helena Meirelles, one of Brazil's most revered folk musicians and an undisputed master of the viola caipira?a traditional Brazilian ten-string guitar. This album showcases her virtuosic playing style, blending intricate fingerpicking with heartfelt melodies that evoke the rural landscapes and cultural richness of Mato Grosso do Sul. The tracks are steeped in authentic Brazilian roots music, offering listeners a journey through genres like guarânia, polca, and rasqueado. Helena Meirelles rose to national fame later in life; Rolling Stone Brasil recognized her as one of the 100 greatest Brazilian guitarists. Her legacy lies not only in her technical prowess but also in breaking gender barriers within a male-dominated genre. Released by Vampisoul / Cargo?renowned for their dedication to unearthing rare gems from Latin America and beyond?this CD is both a tribute to Meirelles' artistry and an essential addition for world music enthusiasts.
