力/Chikara composed by GOH

六年ぶりにホスエとの「力」演奏初日。ホスエはすさまじいフラメンコギタリストです。彼の即興レベルとクリエイティブレベルはマジすご。だいぶ前に僕はこの曲作曲しました。日本の美と力を世界に届けたいという思いで、書いた曲... 演奏するたびに血が騒ぐ。

力/Chikara means strength. I wrote this song a while ago; Josue and I have performed this a number of times in Mexico and Cuba as a duo and with many other musicians as a trio, a quartet, and beyond. I wrote this song, because I wanted to present the elegantly beautiful strength of Japan to the world, and I feel blessed that Josue loves this song.

This performance was our first in 6 years. This time at Festival Internacional de la Guitarra en San Miguel de Allende 2024.

Lovetap composed by GOH

去年日本でhactoの生演奏を聴いてものすごい衝撃を受けました。今年はメキシコでロドリゴ・ネフタリに出会い音楽が再び大好きになりました。初です...Lovetap Duo...マジだよん!

So last year in Japan, I heard hacto perform live for the first time when we were booked for a show together; perhaps my two absolute favorite singers were Eva Cassidy and Jeff Buckley, but hacto is perhaps my absolute favorite living singer. This year in Mexico, at Guitar Fest San Miguel, I met Rodrigo Neftali, perhaps the most joyful musician ever, and I kinda like to call him kid joy or something like that. He reminded me of what music is all about... just enjoy and play kid joy. This is a first... Lovetap Duo is here!
