Raphael Rabello was one of Brazil's most admired classical guitarists, renowned for his extraordinary technique and passionate performances. Born in Rio de Janeiro on October 31, 1962, Rabello was a prodigious talent from a very young age, quickly gaining a reputation for his profound interpretations of a wide range of music, from traditional Brazilian choro and samba to classical pieces. His virtuosity was matched by his depth of feeling, which shone through his collaborations with many of Brazil's great musicians. Rabello's career was marked by numerous acclaimed recordings and performances until his untimely death in 1995 at the age of 32.
Dino 7 Cordas, whose real name was Horondino José da Silva, was a legendary Brazilian guitarist known for his mastery of the seven-string guitar. Born on May 5, 1918, in Rio de Janeiro, he became an integral figure in the choro genre, providing a rich and rhythmic bass line that became a signature of his playing style. His career spanned more than six decades, during which he played alongside many of Brazil's musical heavyweights and participated in countless recordings. Despite the difference in their ages, Rabello and Dino 7 Cordas formed a remarkable duo, combining the vibrancy of youth with the wisdom of experience. Their self-titled album, "Raphael Rabello & Dino 7 Cordas," showcases the seamless blend of Rabello's expressive melodies with the deep, intricate accompaniment from Dino 7 Cordas, and stands as a tribute to the legacy of both giants in Brazilian music. Dino 7 Cordas passed away on May 27, 2006, but not before leaving an indelible mark on the world of guitar and Brazilian music.
