OK, so it\u2019s a gimmick to have a duo playing a piece with four hands on one guitar. That doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t cool, and this is definitely one of the best examples of this we\u2019ve found. Duo Siqueira Lima<\/a> , consisting of Uruguayan Cecilia Siqueira and Brazilian Fernando Lima, met at a 2001 guitar competition in Brazil, where they tied for first place, and by the next year started playing together as duo. They have performed extensively in Europe and the Americas and have three CDs under their collective belt, as well. \u201cTico Tico\u201d is perhaps the best-known piece to come from the pen of Brazilian composer Zequinha de Abreu (1880-1935).<\/p>\n

And because we don\u2019t want to leave you with the impression that Duo Siqueira Lima just play on a single guitar, here\u2019s a bonus video of them playing a couple of sonatas by Scarlatti on two<\/em> guitars: Simply exquisite!<\/p>\n
