    Tawarazumi Uta (with the amazing shamisen from Gustavo Eda) - In 2008, I won the 3rd prize in the Seisounen (young people) category of the 20th Japanese Folk Music Contest of the Brazilian section of the Japanese Kyodou Minyou. Also, in the 21th edition (2009), I won the 2nd prize with the same song. Fortunately, in the same year I won the 1st prize in my category in the 20th edition of the Kyoudou Minyou Zenhaku Okuchi Taikai (20o Torneio de Minyou do Interior do Brasil). The good news is that I just won the 1st prize in my category in the 23th edition of our national contest. Life will be harder from now on, but, hey, that´s the way of the "song warrior", isn´t it?
