Jongo [2 Guitars Version]
[2 guitar version] [score]
(recorded by John Williams and Timothy Kain)
“Although this is for 2 guitars, the 1st guitar is pretty much the same as the already published solo version with a 2nd added guitar part. The 2nd part adds a gorgeousness and full live feeling. This version was presented to the Assad brothers.” **** — Gendai Guitar Magazine
“…super ‘Jongo,’ a hugely enjoyable, up-tempo Brazilian foot-tapper. A number of readers will be familiar with the Brazilian composer’s solo work of the same name, now reworked as a ‘duo version dedicated to my dear friends Sergio and Odair Assad’. It’s a highly rhythmic 6/8, very lively, full of cool sounds; at times dense and elsewhere thin, these contrasts provide a pleasing shape and there is an optional percussion section as in Bellinati’s own solo recording. Quite a piece.” — Chris Kilvington, Classical Guitar Magazine
“With one guitar or two, this is fun to play and fun to hear.” — David Grimes, Soundboard Magazine
Based on the afro-Brazilian style "jongo" this composition is one of the most important pieces of Bellinati's repertoire. It was written in Geneva, Switzerland, when Paulo was living and studying music there.
