Gunter Herbig was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil and grew up in Portugal and Germany. Influenced by such different cultures and aesthetic languages, Gunter has developed a highly personal, charismatic, and expressive style of playing and performance, which sets him well apart from his contemporaries.
Gunter's dynamic and expressive sense of adventure has made him an audience favourite on the concert platform wherever he goes and has solicited universal praise by critics in the international music world. As an eternal pioneer in music and all things guitar, Gunter's expedition into the realm of the electric guitar is a ground breaking and revolutionary departure to new shores.
Gunter's recordings for Naxos and BIS Records have met the highest international critical acclaim.
