Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 8 PM The young Brazilian guitarist and composer Yamandu Costa is already considered among the guitar world to be a giant of the seven-stringed instrument, the violão de sete cordas. He returns to 92Y with a program which highlights South American composers, as well as many of his own compositions.
