Carlos Barbosa-Lima was born in 1944 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He began studying the guitar at seven years of age. Five years later, Mr. Barbosa Lima made his concert debut in his native city and in Rio de Janeiro. He began recording while still in his teens and continued to appear regularly in concert on Brazilian television. His early studies were with Isaias Savio, who is considered, the father of the modern Brazilian guitar movement, and later with the legendary Andres Segovia.
Since his United States debut in 1967, he has enjoyed a global concert career in which the public and music critics are united in acclaiming him one of the world’s leading masters of the guitar.
Mr. Barbosa-Lima is widely recognized for his extraordinary skills as a performer and as an arranger of a wide variety of music from Scarlatti to Debussy, from Gershwin to Jobim and Brubeck and those in between. His inspired performances have catapulted him onto the world stage.
