LANNY GORDIN “Duos” A TRIBUTE TO A GUITAR LEGEND Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Arnaldo Antunes, Zeca Baleiro, Jards Macalé, Chico César, Max de Castro, Vanessa da Mata, Adriana Calcanhotto, Junio Barreto, Fernanda Takai, Edgar Scandurra, Rodrigo Amarante and Péricles Cavalcanti teamed up for a tribute to Lanny Gordon Here is an artist who deserves a tribute. Lany Gordin had a fundamental role in the Brazilian pop music of the mid- 60's and 70's by playing his inventive guitar in most of the best records produced at that time. Today, after an absence of almost 30 years, he is back, with a new album: “Lanny - Duos” (a Barraventoartes/Universal Music production under the direction of Glauber Amaral). In this new work he is very much at ease in the presence of 15 artists of different generations and styles. The resulting album raises an intriguing question: why on earth did Brazilian music have to spend such a long time without him? The story of this master of the guitar is as unique as his style. Son of a Russian pianist and a Polish woman, Alexandre Gordin was born in Shangai, China, in 1951 . His family lived for some years in Israel before coming to Brazil in 1958. Self taught musician, at the age of 16 he already played the guitar and bass guitar in a night club owned by his father in rua sergipe 401 cj 1310 higienópolis 01243.001 são paulo brasil tel fax [55.11] 3259.0808
