Baden Powell, Benjamin Legrand & Philippe Baden Powell.
Baden Powell started with guitar lessons of Jayme Florence, a famous guitar player, in the forties. He proved to be a young virtuoso. At the age of fifteen, he was already playing as a professional, he led singers and bands in different styles. He loved Swing and Jazz, but his most important influences were deeply rooted in the Brazilian guitar. He first came to the public eye in 1959 with Billy Blanco, a well-known singer-songwriter, by matching texts to Baden Powell compositions. The result was a very successful "Samba Triste".
