About:
Guinga (Carlos Althier de Sousa Lemos Escobar) is a Brazilian guitarist and composer living in Rio de Janeiro. His first recording was as accompanist to Cartola.
Though having subsequently accompanied many of Brazil's greatest artists, Guinga is known primarily as a composer, deeply original, wide-ranging, and considered by many as Brazil's paramount composer of present days.
Hermeto Pascoal said of him (as quoted by Daniela Thompson) "He's somebody who only appears once every hundred years."
"Cheio de dedos" (full of fingers) is a Brazilian expression meaning "clumsy". The playful irony of this title is of course in the fact that Guinga's digits manifest Brazilian elegance incarnate! On 'Rio de Exageros' Guinga is accompanied by Chano Domínguez, a pianist from Cádiz, Spain.
