JOÃO PERNAMBUCO (João Teixeira Guimarães) died in 1947. Brazilian, son of an indigenous mother and Portuguese father, he started playing the country guitar in childhood, due to the influence of local singers and guitarists. He began to compose regionally inspired songs, based on folk songs. This is the case of the hymn Luar do Sertão (Moonlight of the Hinterland), composed in 1911, his greatest success, not credited by the lyricist partner Catulo da Paixão, who remained as the only author. He was also part of the Caxangá Group, which was dressed in typical clothes and was quite successful in the 10's. He also participated in Turunas Pernambucanos and Oito Batutas, alongside Pixinguinha. He composed several instrumental pieces for guitar, among which Sons De Carrilhoes (Chimes Sounds) stands out. Her work is a reference for guitarists who constantly re-record it.
