January 14, 2012 No Comment
Baden Powell de Aquino, baptized in honor of the founder of the Boy Scouts Movement in a small town of the state of Rio, was one of the country’s greatest guitar players, capable of mixing elements of classical music to his Brazilian and African roots. The documentary “Velho Amigo” (Old Friend), subtitled in English, directed by Jean Claude Guiter, investigates the origins of Baden Powell’s genius.
He was previously mentioned in the post 10 (acoustic) guitar heroes from Brazil.
