Following his artistic path, Chico Saraiva meets up with 7 master musicians who share their experiences: João Bosco, Sérgio Assad, Paulo César Pinheiro, Paulo Bellinati, Marco Pereira, Luiz Tatit and Guinga. The conversation, with acoustic guitars in hands, reveals multiple ways of how music is created through the particularly fertile relationship between solo guitar pieces and popular brazilian songs.
