Welcome to the Heitor Villa-Lobos Website; on the web since 1994
Here is another illustration is from Fabiana Salomão's Villa Lobos, o maestro. The young Villa-Lobos jams with his choro friends. Text is by Lúcia Fidalgo (published by Ed.Paulus in 2011). There are two more illustrations from the book at Salomão's blog. Thanks to Fabiana for her permission to post this here. By the way, you should follow Fabiana on Twitter: @FabianaSalomao.
The Villa-Lobos Twitter Marathon
#HeitorADay is the hashtag for a new Villa-Lobos Twitter project of mine, based in part on the notoriously large output of the great Brazilian composer, but mainly because (most of) the music is so great. I'll be listening to a different Villa-Lobos piece every day, and tweeting about it. I'll keep track of all the tweets here. We'll see how long it takes to use up my pretty extensive Villa-Lobos music collection.
I'm in this for the long haul! Feel free to listen & tweet along.
