Cesar Guerra-Peixe (1914 – 1993) worked as a composer, arranger and musicologist. Was one of the leaders of the Movimento Musica Viva, which brought to Brazil european avant gard composition techniques, and of the Movimento Armorial, which developed a Brazilian classical art style with the least european influence possible.
His guitar works mark the transition from his avant gard production to the Armorial one, and in it we can enjoy the music of Brazilian northeast blended with the German expressionism.
