Rosinha de Valenca's 1971 album Um Violao Em Primeiro Plano is a masterclass in Brazilian guitar, shining a spotlight on her unparalleled artistry and deep connection to the roots of MPB (Popular Brasileira). A seamless blend of bossa nova, samba, and traditional Brazilian rhythms, the album is built around Valenca's expressive and technically brilliant playing. Her intricate fingerpicking and emotive phrasing invite listeners into a richly textured sonic world that feels both intimate and expansive. Standout tracks like Asa Branca and Summertime showcase her rare ability to merge virtuosic technique with profound musicality, reinterpreting classics with a voice that is uniquely her own. Um Violao Em Primeiro Plano is more than a showcase of guitar mastery-it's a cultural document that affirms Rosinha de Valenca's legacy as one of Brazil's most influential guitarists. A timeless gem for fans of Brazilian music and acoustic guitar alike.
