The Guitar Experience Festival is the major electric guitar´s exhibition in Argentina.[1]

Overview

[edit]

In 2009, Maycown Reichembach - a professional guitarist who shares stage with international musicians such as Greg Howe, Stu Hamm, Kiko Loureiro among others - decided to create the local Guitar Festival and called it Guitar Experience Festival, an Argentine electric guitar´s tribute. He is also the Producer and Participant of the next editions. Sometimes, guitarists Fernando Pareta and Pat Tomaselli also cooperated with Reichembach in the organization. The festival focuses on three or four shows per night playing instrumental themes: a showcase and a fellows´ meeting point for guitarists and virtuous performances for guitar´s fans. The exhibition takes place once a year, in Buenos Aires. Not local guitar players are invited but also Latin American colleagues coming from Chile and Brazil. Other professional musicians are included as guest appearances. This international multi - genre festival is hosted by BA MÚSICA, Buenos Aires´ Culture Secretary.
