Brazilian guitarist and music producer Beto Lefevre just announced the international tour Alien Guitar 2025which should tour several European countries next year. The musician performed three shows in São Paulo (SP) as a pre-launch for the tour in July and August, at the Instituto Cultural Bolivia Rock, Manifesto Bar and Café Piu Piu, where he shared the stage with the band Almanak.

With the band, the guitarist leads performances lasting 50 to 70 minutes, playing songs by Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dire Straits, ZZ Top and film themes.
Beto Lefevre reveals that “Light Guitar” is a different instrument that emits lights when played, following the musician’s fingers, thus creating a look synchronized with the music being played, bringing the entire concept of the show around this guitar. From the lighting, the choice of repertoire, to the way the musician plays the instrument.
