“When
Mário got in touch with me, wishing to take guitar classes
I didn’t realize I was facing one of the most creative and
free acoustic guitarists I ever met...
....Mário Eugênio , plays an astonishing guitar, unique
in style and technical approach. He makes everything different.
In his hands the instrument gains a voiced dimension as well as
fantastic rhythms that will surely make the big names in acoustic
guitar pay a lot of attention.In this album there are some classic
MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) interpretations that will make history
in the instrumental music world, Mário Eugênio is one
of those persons who, believing in himself, develops an authentic
and revolutionary behavior, opening new paths and showing new horizons.”
- Ulisses Rocha
“TOQUE BRASIL is a definite and solid work, with a solid style.
The seven-string acoustic guitar is explored in a unique way (rhythmic
and harmonic), in the approach of Trenzinho Caipira (Little Country
Train), by Villa-Lobos and in the samba picado “Incompatibilidade
de Gênios” (Irreconcilable Differences),by João
Bosco and Aldir Blanc.The compilation goes far beyond - Ari Barroso,
Ernesto Nazareth, Pixinguinha, Garoto (the version of Lamento no
Morro ( Slum Elegy) is remarkable) and even Agustin Barrios (La
Catedral).” - Mauro Dias
