by THIAGO PINHEIRO
Modern Brazilian guitar styles beyond samba and bossa nova.
With Brazil Now for Strum GS-2, Brazilian producer and keyboard virtuoso Thiago Pinheiro captures the ever-evolving spirit of Brazilian music, where tradition and innovation move forward side by side.
Far beyond postcard samba and bossa nova, Brazil Now brings together the grooves filling radios, clubs, and street parties from Rio to Salvador. Rooted in tradition yet infused with funk, rock, pop, and regional energy, this collection delivers the contemporary rhythms shaping Brazilian music right now.
From celebratory and sun-drenched to raw, percussive, and groove-driven, its carefully crafted presets reflect the diversity and motion of a country constantly reinventing its sound, while staying unmistakably Brazilian.
With 12 distinct styles, authentic guitar presets, and strumming patterns designed for immediate playability with your own chord progressions, Brazil Now gives you the rhythmic foundation of modern Brazil, instantly current, instantly alive.
Only compatible with Strum GS-2 and the free AAS Player.
Brazil Now works with the Strum GS-2 acoustic and electric guitars. You can obviously play and edit the sounds in Strum GS-2, but you can also access and play them via the free AAS Player plug-in included with your purchase.
