3 world-class acoustic guitarist performing in KL this April 2014 and this is their first visit to Malaysia.

MASA SUMIDE (JAPAN)

"One of the world's greatest solo guitarists." — Tuck Andress (Tuck & Patti)

Hailed by fellow guitarists as a 'brilliant groove player', Masa Sumide stretches the limit of the acoustic guitar and lets it sing with his unique one-man band style and melodic compositions. His repertoire runs from jaw-dropping funky tunes to sophisticated yet accessible jazzy, bluesy grooves along with some ballads that are sure to touch the soul.


PAOLO SERENO (ITALY)

In 1996, during the ADGPA Convention in Italy, Marcel Dadi called him on the stage during the evening finale concert to play “One for Marcel”, his first “super picking” composition dedicated to the great French master. In 2000, Paolo played in Venice the carnival and shared the stage with people like Tim Sparks and Muriel Anderson. In 2002, he was the opening act for Will Ackermann and Don Ross who had beautiful words for him. He then came out with his debut CD “Con la Chitarra” - a work which contained seven original compositions and seven covers (some played with his acoustic quartet) like “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” for fingerstyle solo guitar and a special rom track with the tabs played in the cd: a first in the field of acoustic guitar works. In 2003 he began collaborating with the American folksinger Jacqueline Perkins and Walter Lupi, and won first prize as best author/performer on acoustic guitar at the “New sounds of acoustic music” during the international guitar meeting in Sarzana, Italy.

TAKESHI SAKASEGAWA (JAPAN)

Takeshi hails from Kagoshima, Japan. Kagoshima is famous for its beauty. Takeshi is inspired by his hometown and creates his music using his imagination. Takeshi has become the new generation of Japan Fingerstyle guitarist. He uses his guitar to tell stories; you can hear stories about the forest, the river, the wind, the birds and love. In his album “Short Stories Forest of Life”, you will be completely immersed by his music that he is trying to convey. Besides music, his showmanship and stage presence further enhances one’s experience during his live concerts. You can never get enough of his music; it is a concert not to be missed.
