Artur Menezes started doing shows in the local scene, gained recognition, and had the opportunity to make a name for himself abroad. I believe that he passed through Argentina and then managed to settle in the United States for good. I also heard that in one of those disputes for the best guitarist of the genre, he was in second place, second only to Philip Sayce. He is really a pride of the Brazilian Northeast, specifically our beloved land, Fortaleza – Ceará.
Here we have great blues musicians and I could name many, many of them. However, if I could indicate one, as good as Artur Menezes, who is still active doing many, many shows weekly, but who has not yet received due recognition, I would indicate Felipe Cazaux. Search the streams and post here as disclosure. Maybe a label like that doesn’t give the guy a chance. Just for information, Felipe Cazaux was born in São Paulo, but most of his life he lived and solidified his career here in Fortaleza, Ceará.
In fact he is Brazilian, from Fortaleza – CE.
