Hello!
My name is Boris Gaquere. I am a guitarist and composer from Brussels, Belgium. I studied at the Royal Conservatories in Brussels and Mons with Sérgio & Odair Assad. I made several recordings:

I also recorded in Japan with Shin-ichi Fukuda and Yasuji Ohagi, in Belgium with Luc Pilartz in his project Violon Populaire, and in France with Sébastien Vachez' on his 'Brésils' album.
I wrote musics for the Assad Brothers, Shin-ichi Fukuda, Tomonori Arai, Yasuji Ohagi, Duo Guitarinet, etc...

Sounds Like:

"I believe that Boris Gaquere is one of the new generation's most interesting and 'authentically musical' guitarists/composers. To my eye, he belongs to a very small circle of artists who are as sensitive as they are creative and who have understood the importance of silence and the unspoken in music."
- Roland DYENS

"Dear Boris, you have made a beautiful recording of these wonderful pieces of music. I very much enjoyed your performance of the Suite by Loeillet. You play with the freshness and clarity it needs. Congratulations for your recording."
- David RUSSELL (about Boris Gaquere's Carpe Diem CD)

"...There is in Boris a marvellous control of the guitar, a beautiful rythmic sprightliness for this demanding repertoire..."
- Philip Catherine (about Boris Gaquere's Tempo Feliz CD)

"...a name to watch for in the future."
- Classical Guitar, UK

"Gaquere, in this first CD [Xeque-Mate ~ VGo Recordings], shows an original compositional voice, a command of the instrument and a strong ear for new composers. He is a new voice I hope to hear more of soon.”
- Guitarramagazine.com, USA

"...Estupendo!"
- El Telégrafo, Uruguay
