 , his family was descended from slaves\, his grandfather organized the fir
 st black orchestra in the region\, and his father played the guitar at hom

 egan to play classical guitar at the age of six\; his father sent him to s
 tudy classical music at the Rio conservatory\, and by the age of 15 he was
  playing professionally. \nBaden Powell was a pioneer of the "bossa nova" 
 sound. African rhythms and ritual were fundamental influences in Baden's w
 ork\, while he was also influenced by classical composers such as Villa-Lo
 bos\, Bach\, and Scarlatti\, Brazilian samba\, "choros\," American jazz an
 d blues\, and popular music. He composed more than 50 songs in partnership
  with the diplomat and poet Vinicius de Moraes\, one of the great names of
  the bossa nova period. With Baden writing the music\, Moraes the lyrics\,
  together they fused samba with Afro-Brazilian forms such as candomblé\, 
 umbanda\, and capoeira\, creating many of the classics of Brazilian bossa 
 nova and popular music.\nBaden Powell composed nearly 500 pieces with his 
 unique blend of samba\, jazz and classical influences. \nThis master class
