The musician adopted a style that demanded total skill in executing arrangements like guitar solos during song introductions and in various repetitions between verse intervals. Long live Tião Carreiro!
The sound of Almir Sater's guitar is so characteristic that it placed the musician on the list of the 30 greatest Brazilian instrumentalists by the music magazine Rolling Stone. The musician's greatest merit was to promote a personal revival of caipira guitar when he reinvented rural music with influences of folk, rock, and blues. In his more than three decades of career, Sater is a guitarist who made all of Brazil know and fall in love with the ten-string guitar.
Recognized as one of the most innovative soloists of the guitar and with the status of a virtuoso musician, Roberto Corrêa has been fascinated by the guitar since he was young.
