Yamandu Costa live in San Lorenzo de El Escorial

Experience Yamandu Costa live on August 29th

Yamandu Costa, a Brazilian virtuoso guitarist and composer, will perform at Teatro De La Antigua Mina in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain on August 29, 2026. Costa’s music is deeply rooted in *chorinho*, a traditionally Brazilian instrumental genre characterized by its lively tempos and complex harmonies. He expands upon this foundation incorporating elements of jazz, classical music, and other Latin American styles, showcasing remarkable technical skill and improvisational ability on seven-string guitar.

Teatro De La Antigua Mina is situated within the historical Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Originally constructed in the 16th century as part of King Philip II’s ambitious building project, the space served as a mine for extracting limestone used in the monastery’s construction. Later repurposed, it functioned as a theatre from the 19th century onwards, hosting performances for the Spanish royal court and public audiences. The theatre underwent significant restoration in recent years to preserve its historical character while adapting it for modern performances. Its intimate setting and unique architectural features contribute to a distinctive acoustic environment.
