:: John Fahey ::

por Alexandre Nakamura

À convite do meu amigo de longa data Edu "Lusso", a partir desse post começo a contribuir regularmente na casa. Pra começar, um dos favoritos lá em casa: o mestre do blues-grassroots norte americano (muita gente chama hoje em dia de folk, neo folk, experimental.. ele mesmo denominava sua música apenas como "American Primitive Guitar", combinando elementos da música popular norte-americana, como musiqué concrete, field recording, música erudita..): John Fahey.

(ctrl+c/ctrl+p do wikipedia): "John Fahey (February 28, 1939 – February 22, 2001) was an American fingerstyle guitarist and composer who pioneered the steel-string guitar as a solo instrument. His style has been greatly influential and has been described as American Primitivism, a term borrowed from painting and referring mainly to the self-taught nature of his art. Fahey himself borrowed from the folk and blues traditions in American music but also incorporated classical, Brazilian, Indian and abstract music into his eclectic œuvre. In characteristically witty fashion, he once said of his style: "How can I be a folk? I'm from the suburbs you know." In 2003, he was ranked 35th in Rolling Stone's "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
