Eu Sou Todos Nós
Eu Sou Todos Nós is the fourteenth studio album by Brazilian solo artist Zé Ramalho. It was released in 1998. The album cover is a composite of pictures of several people, forming the face of Zé Ramalho, which is an allusion to the album's title, "Eu Sou Todos Nós", which translates as "''I Am All Of Us''". It sold more than 100,000 copies in the first month and it had reached the 190,000 mark by April of the next year. It succeeds the well-sold compilation '' Antologia Acústica''. According to Ramalho, BMG would probably rather release an ''Antologia 2'' of sorts, but the "natural sequence" for him was an album of new songs. In the contract with BMG, Ramalho managed to negotiate a three-album deal, including this effort, ''Nação Nordestina'' and '' Zé Ramalho Canta Raul Seixas'' - both of the latter already had their names defined at that time. Song information "Beira-Mar – Capítulo Final" is the conclusion of a trilogy started on "Beira-Mar" (from 1979's '' A Peleja ...

It is similar in appearance and construction to an Electric guitar, electric but with a longer neck (music), neck and scale length (string instruments), scale length. The electric bass guitar most commonly has four strings, though five- and six-stringed models are also built. Since the mid-1950s, the bass guitar has replaced the double bass in popular music due to its lighter weight, smaller size, most models' inclusion of Fret, frets for easier Intonation_(music), intonation, and electromagnetic pickups for amplification.

For a double bass to be acoustically perfect, its body size would have to be twice as that of a cello rendering it unplayable, so the double bass is made smaller to make it playable. The elect ...

Viola (Brazil)
The Caipira viola or Caipira guitar (in Portuguese: ''Viola caipira''), is a Brazilian ten-string guitar with five courses of strings arranged in pairs.

Arrangement
In music, an arrangement is a musical adaptation of an existing composition. Differences from the original composition may include reharmonization, melodic paraphrasing, orchestration, or formal development. Arranging differs from orchestration in that the latter process is limited to the assignment of notes to instruments for performance by an orchestra, concert band, or other musical ensemble. Arranging "involves adding compositional techniques, such as new thematic material for introductions, transitions, or modulations, and endings. Arranging is the art of giving an existing melody musical variety".(Corozine 2002, p. 3) In jazz, a memorized (unwritten) arrangement of a new or pre-existing composition is known as a ''head arrangement''. Classical music Arrangement and transcriptions of classical and serious music go back to the early history of classical music. Eighteenth century J. S. Bach frequently made arrangements of his own and other composers' p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lead vocalists typically incorporate some movement or gestures into their performance, and some may participate in dance routines during the show, particularly in pop music. Some lead vocalists also play an instrument during the show, either in an accompaniment role (such as strumming a guitar part), or playing a lead instrument/instrumental solo role when they are not singing (as in the case of lead singer-guitar virtuoso Jimi Hendrix). The lead singer also typically guide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
