Business Overview

João Camarello, a new generation Brazilian guitarist, performed in Japan under the auspices of the Brazilian Embassy and the Guimarains-Hosa Institute. Shin Sasakubo, a guitarist who represents Japan, was invited as the opening guest. The first part was performed by Sasakubo, the second part by Camarello, and the third encore was performed by a guitar duo. Tickets were sold out and there was a waiting list, so many people filled the hall. Sasakubo overwhelmed the audience with his contemporary style, which is rooted in Peruvian music, while Camarello captivated the audience with his overwhelming performance and style based on Brazilian classical music, xiolo. Their collaboration for the encore was a guitar duo that brought out the best of Brazilian music and Latin music to the full, and the audience applauded and received a standing ovation.
