Daniel Murray - Paulo Bellinati Trio Toca Garoto (2025) [Hi-Res]

Paulo Bellinati Trio Toca Garoto is a new album in which Paulo Bellinati, Swami Jr., and Daniel Murray pay tribute to the brilliant Brazilian guitarist and composer Aníbal Augusto Sardinha, known as Garoto (1915–1955). The album will be released on April 11, 2025, by the Borandá label and commemorates the 70th anniversary of Garoto’s passing.

The project is inspired by the sound of Garoto’s 1930s guitar trio and reflects both the historical legacy and a contemporary approach to Brazilian instrumental music. The album showcases refined and pure guitar technique, highlighting the richness of choro, samba, and jazz.

Bellinati, a renowned master and scholar of Brazilian guitar tradition, returns to Garoto’s music over 30 years after his iconic album The Guitar Works of Garoto (1991), this time enhancing the project through collaboration with two of today’s leading guitarists.
