The Washington Post calls the Assads "the best two-guitar team in existence, maybe even in history." These Brazilian-born brothers have set a new standard of guitar innovation, ingenuity and expression. Together they enjoy "a formidable reputation as guitarists who have an extraordinarily wide repertoire of material that transcends all categories. What links them is deft playing and a stunning interplay" (The Independent).
