Andre Christovam is considered the "founding father" of the Brazilian blues scene. He is also considered the top blues guitarist in that country. Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil (the largest city in South America) He graduated from the prestigious Guitar Institute in Los Angeles (GIT) in 1980 where he was the first Brazilian graduate.
